Skellie—The demand for an anilox roll that suits both solid and fine process work has been a niche market for the high-definition anilox. This high-definition anilox technology also allows for less roll inventory and reduces changeout time for the press.

A negative impact that our business is feeling now and will feel for years to come is the constant “beat down” of anilox roll engraving price. With quality comes the cost to maintain the highest level of service and technology.
