4 Top Tips for Anilox Roll Care & Maintenance

In a perfect world, the anilox should be cleaned at the end of every job. This should be the daily routine of every press operator. A stainless-steel brush should be used on ceramic anilox rolls. Do not use brass brushes on ceramic. Always brush in a circular motion with a safe cleaner like PRO Gravure Cleaner.

Handle carefully

Remove the roll from the box/crate, unwrap and inspect it. Handle with care. Any ding, dent or scratch could destroy the engraved cells and affect your print quality. When it comes to cleaning with a brush, stainless steel should be used on ceramic anilox rolls. Don't use brass brushes on ceramic and always brush in a circular motion.

Keep circulating

When in press, ink or varnish should always be circulating and the anilox rotating when not in use. This prevents ink and varnish from drying in the cells

Protect your investment

Always lift the anilox roll with both hands or use a hoist. Do not drag the anilox roll off or across the table or floor, as you risk damaging the engraved cells. When not in use, use a protective cover to avoid damage.

Doctor blade applications

Disengage the doctor blade from the anilox roll during color og varnishing changes to make sure there is no ink or varnish buildup. Always use filters and magnets if you are using doctor blades—These will help prevent scoring.
