Apex, which runs seven production facilities on four continents, shows its range of anilox equipment.

 

GTT2.0 is an open-channel slalom engraving that allows ink to flow calmly onto the plate, instead of being pressured in and out of the closed cells. Benefits are said to include low-pressure ink release which minimizes dot-gain and plugging, increased capability in combination prints from a single unit, solids and screens on one station, reduced anilox inventory, ink weight reduction and better white opacity, and easier clean-up. 

 

UltraCell+ is Apex’s flagship hex cell engraving. It employs a ‘shallow profile’ geometry which, coupled with its high-density low-porosity ceramic, enables consistent ink release and printability. Benefits are said to include improved solids and process printability, greater ink release, faster clean-up, and increased score-line resistance.
