Cheshire to show anilox developments at Labelexpo

Cheshire Anilox Technology will launch its high precision laser engraved roll at Labelexpo Europe on stand 6H45. The roll has been manufactured using the company’s latest generation of engraving technology, Proflo, which is specifically developed for HD Plate technology. It features a new improved cell profile that will provide a more consistent ink lay down while also eliminating the chance of uncontrolled dot gain. This unique cell angle profile now allows printers to work with the expanded tone range of offset and rotogravure printing techniques. 

Cheshire Anilox Technology will also present a wide range of engraving technologies to suit the most challenging metering applications in flexo, including EasyFlo HD for high opacity whites, which allows printers to achieve the opacity of screen whites at faster speeds in one single pass, and MaxFlo, which offers high color densities and dot reproduction at higher line counts, increasing print resolution without the dot gain typical of high-volume anilox rollers. The company claims combination print jobs can now be done with one anilox roll, achieving outstanding color densities in the solid areas and sharper and cleaner vignettes. 

Cheshire will also show its Airlox light-weight roll design constructed with high-grade aluminum and thin wall steel, which is up to 60 percent lighter in weight than comparably sized steel hollow rollers. 

Cheshire technicians will be performing live anilox cleaning demonstrations using the new freestanding range of Flexsonic ultrasonic systems.
