Investigation of anilox roller cell clogging

One vital component in the flexo inking system of high-line screen engraving technologies is anilox rollers. These deliver a precise and consistent amount of ink during the process of flexography, making it possible to produce high-resolution prints of exceptional quality. However, as print quality...
