Aniloxruisku

Aniloxruisku is a Finnish term that translates to "anilox roll" in English. An anilox roll is a crucial component in the printing industry, specifically in flexographic printing. It is an engraved roller that is used to transfer a precise amount of ink or coating to the printing plate. The surface of an anilox roll is covered in a vast array of tiny cells, each of a specific volume and shape. These cells are typically etched or engraved into the surface of the roller, which is often made of ceramic or steel. The density and volume of these cells determine the amount of ink that can be held and transferred. A doctor blade, a squeegee-like device, scrapes across the surface of the anilox roll, removing excess ink and ensuring that only the ink within the cells is transferred. The uniformity and precision of the anilox roll are critical for achieving consistent print quality, accurate color reproduction, and sharp image definition in flexographic printing processes. They are essential for a wide range of applications, including packaging, labels, and commercial printing.
