Understanding Anilox Roll Damage
Anilox rolls and sleeves can experience various forms of damage, including:
- Scoring: Caused by debris or excessive doctor blade pressure, leading to lines or grooves on the roll surface.
- Corrosion: Resulting from exposure to harsh chemicals or improper cleaning agents, leading to pitting or surface degradation.
- Cell Wear: Over time, the engraved cells can become worn or clogged, reducing ink transfer efficiency.
These issues not only affect print quality but can also lead to increased downtime and maintenance costs.
