The calculation price includes cost of shaft ends, but we retain right to charge extra for very unusual shaft ends up to $200 each.

Multiple Cell Shapes

The shape, size and depth of these cells impact how ink is transferred from the anilox roller to the print plate. After you place an order, you may contact us and share the condition and application of your roller, we will be happy to assist you in choosing a best possible solution for improved print quality as well as process efficiency.

 

Typical Cell Angles

Today new laser engraving technology allows multiple open cell designs, such as equal sided hex 60°and 30°cells have been most typically seen in corrugated box industry.

 

How to determine your anilox roll application?

Condition/Application	Ink transferred requirement	Recommended LPI
Printing pressure – Higher	More ink transferred	Lower LPI
Machine speed – Higher	Less ink required	Higher LPI
Substrate – Higher absorption	More ink required	Lower LPI
Press material – Thicker	More ink required	Lower LPI
Doctor roll compared to blade	Blade makes less ink transferred	Lower LPI
Full color compared to dot printing	Dot requires less ink transferred	Higher LPI
Ceramic compared to Chrome roll	Ceramic	Higher LPI
