Harper Corporation publishes updated anilox scoring prevention guide

Global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America has published the fourth edition of its ‘Anilox Scoring Prevention Guide’.

This 20-page booklet covers a range of anilox scoring issues, including how to recognize scoring problems, troubleshooting the sources, as well as general care of anilox rolls and anilox sleeves to prevent damage.

‘Scoring damage can be a very frustrating problem,’ said Mike Huey, technical graphics manager of the Western division at Harper GraphicSolutions. ‘It impacts print quality, and if it goes unchecked, scoring can do extensive damage to an anilox inventory. This is definitely a situation where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’

Clearly illustrated with highly magnified photographs and clear line drawings, the guide offers detailed, understandable information to assist press operators.

This new edition contains updates on scoring prevention, additional information on doctor blades, an ink cleaner cross reference guide of HarperScientific products, as well as Harper’s ten tips for anilox roll care & maintenance, and ten tips for anilox sleeve care and maintenance.

‘We try very hard to assist our customers at every turn,’ said Alexander James, technical graphics manager of the Eastern division at Harper GraphicSolutions. ‘If we can help them maintain their anilox investment at peak performance for a longer period of time, it results in revenue savings for them, and that’s something everyone appreciates.’
