Sandon Global – Anilox Rollers & Sleeves – Laser Engraved Ceramic Coated – Narrow Web – All Products

Description

We take great pride in the performance and engraving consistency produced by our time-served engineers, laser operators and finishers.

Key Features

Vibrant colors
Reduce anilox inventories

Available Models

The key benefits of our combination engraving (also known as Fluid UV) cover both solid and tone work and include:

Solid & Tone on one plate
HD print and reduced dot gain
Minimise “pin-holing” and ink “spitting”
Improved release characteristics leading to “clean” print
Reduced doctor blade vibration due to smooth cell micro-finish
Vibrant colors
Reduce anilox inventories
Extend lifespan on wear compared to conventional 60º engravings

Our 60º engraving (also known as Fluid HEX) is far from conventional. In that it can be used for process and solid work on a broad range of substrates. It’s point of difference includes:

“Open” hexagonal cell design encourages ink flow
Multi-functional engraving design
Strong solids
Minimise “pin-holing” and ink “spitting”
Improved release characteristics leading to “clean” print
Reduced doctor blade vibration due to smooth cell micro-finish
Extend lifespan on wear compared to conventional 60º engravings

As High Definition print is becoming the norm in the narrow-web world we have developed an engraving solution for this purpose. A 61º engraving (also known as XPRO) is ideal for both process and vignette print. Used typically with high resolution plates our robust cell peaks and channelled cell walls offer a range of benefits including:

61º engraving reduces the risk of moire (or screen clash)
Inter-linking cells deliver HD print quality
Consistent ink transfer
Reducing ink starvation, delivering vivid HD colors
Precision volume control
Reduced plugging
Reduced wear and engraving damage

Our patented engraving (also known as GMX Anilox^®) has been designed to address the challenges when laying down special and heavy coatings including varnish, adhesive and metallic inks. A versatile and unique engraving that is protected under patent no. EP3408097B1, among others delivers the following benefits:

Unique and efficient shallow cell design
Delivering tactile and rough texture varnish applications
Increase coat weights
COCAL accurate coat weight formula
Reduces cell blocking when using large coating particles
Reduce vibration due to micro-finish cell polish
Easy to clean
Reduce annual spend on coatings, varnish and lacquers

High Opacity White engraving (also known as HOW) was developed in partnership with a plate, ink and tape manufacturer. With the shared aim of delivering a quality opaque white for narrow-web application. Conventional thinking has been replaced with an anilox that gives you total control. We can offer 4 different volume levels to suit the text and solid density required. A summary of the key benefits include:

Available in 4 opacity levels
Maintain press speed
Eliminates costly screen heads
Improve print efficiency
Easy to clean

Our High Opacity Colour engraving (also known as HOC) removes the need for a backing white to achieve dense, opaque and strong colours. Developed in tandem with the High Opacity Whiteengraving it enables printers to lay heavy coat weights to achieve the required opacity across the full colour gamut. Summary benefits:

Screen quality opaque color
No backing white required
Overcome flooding, filling-in and pin-holing issues due to efficient ink flow and cell evacuation
Eliminates costly screen heads
Improve print efficiency
Easy to clean
