High-Level Anilox Performance

The development of anilox sleeves and cutting-edge engraving technologies have created much higher line screen counts and deeper cells with higher volumes. These innovations have created challenges that require converters to use on-press automated wash-up systems, manual hand cleaners, and off-press automated equipment cleaners under the guidelines provided by each supplier (that should be read and understood). Even ink and water by themselves are corrosives! All of these methods and systems can be very effective in cleaning sleeves, if used according to instructions and in the correct environment.
