Welcome to the Xianghuai Website.We are mainly engaged in designing and manufacturing flexographic printing machines.

How to match an anilox roller to a flexo press?

Most prints have both solid, line, and continuous tone images. In order to meet the needs of various printing products, users must not adopt a few anilox rolls with several printing units on the flexo printing machine. Take the narrow-width unit type flexo printing machine as an example. At present, most of the domestic introductions are 6+1 type, that is, 6 color groups are designed for multi-color printing, and the last unit can be printed and UV glazed.

We recommend that for 6-15 lines of printing, this 6+1 flexo press should be equipped with 9 anilox rolls. Four 700 lines, ink layer thickness of 2.3BCM (1 billion cubic micrometers / inch), 60 ° anilox roller for layer printing; three 360 ~ 400 line, BCM6.0, 60 ° netting The roller is used for solid printing; two 200-line, BCM15, and 60° anilox rolls are used for gold plating and glazing.If water-based varnish is used, a 360-line anilox roll should be used so that the oil layer is slightly thinner and will not affect the printing speed due to the drying problem of the varnish. Water-based varnishes do not have the special odor of UV varnish. The device for the anilox roll during printing can be determined through testing and comparison, and the thickness of the ink layer that the operator can observe during the test mainly depends on the number of lines of the anilox roll and the BCM value.
