Assessment of the Condition of Anilox Rollers

To produce high-quality prints using flexographic printing technology, it is important, among other factors, how accurately and consistently the ink is delivered to the printing plate, and, from there, onto the printed material. This function is performed by anilox rollers. The aim of this research...
