AI Technical Summary
Existing anilox rolls in flexographic printing cannot simultaneously achieve both full-tone and half-tone printing effectively, leading to inefficiencies, uneven ink distribution, and ink wastage due to gravity and high-speed rotation, and require multiple rolls for different line screens, increasing labor and time costs.
An anilox roll design featuring channels and walls with a specific pattern where adjacent walls are in an in-phase relationship, minimizing free-running ink spaces and ensuring even ink distribution, suitable for both full-tone and half-tone printing.
The new anilox roll design enhances ink distribution, reduces ink wastage, and supports high-speed printing with even color intensity, eliminating the need for multiple rolls and improving printing efficiency.
