Chris Jones, the Vice President at Alphasonics USA explains, “it is all about consistency; you can’t print consistent high quality with inconsistent cell volumes.”
Yet for whatever reason, several print shop owners struggle to see the connection between consistent cell volumes and far less over-pigmentation of inks, faster make ready, reduced waste, much higher and more consistent print quality, easier and more accurate anilox management, increase in production run hours and profit. However, all press operators know only too well the effect of having a blocked anilox: time, frustration and poor quality.
With up to 80% of all print problems attributed to the condition of the anilox, those companies looking to improve and maintain print quality should consider the way their business could move forward. Furthermore, Aniloxes with higher screen counts require more cleaning, not less, so it is critical to choose the correct device that will suit the needs of the business, not only in cleaning efficiency but also capacity. For example, there is no point purchasing an Anilox roll cleaning system solely because of its environmental claims per say, if it will only clean one roll at a time.
Alphasonics Anilox roll cleaning systems deliver consistent cleaning, 100% of the time in a safe and effective manner, with systems that will clean up to 12 rolls/sleeves at a time.
