Harper reports seminar success in Charlotte

Harper GraphicSolutions hosted a sleeve seminar on April 14 at the company’s headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Attendees traveled from North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia to participate in the day-long free instructional meeting, which was the result of a series initiated last year by Harper GraphicSolutions professionals to address the differences between the relatively new technology of anilox sleeves and that of conventional journaled anilox rollers. The company reported excellent feedback about the event from attendees.

Experts from Harper’s technical service division presented a series of detailed presentations about proper sleeve handling, storage and cleaning. They also examined the re-engravability differences between rolls and sleeves, and the impact of cumulative total indicator readings (TIR) between the press mandrel and anilox sleeve. All of the information was highlighted with photos of damaged and destroyed sleeves that Harper technicians have come across in the field, with advice on how to avoid such damage.

After a complimentary lunch, participants received a tour of Harper Corporation’s manufacturing facility, to see how anilox sleeves are handled and laser-engraved, before they toured the Harper GraphicSolutions laboratory, where Echocheks are analyzed and all roll audits are prepared.
