HIGH-PRECISION Engraved Printing Rolls

Superior Ink Release

At PST, laser engraving is the final step in the preparation of our anilox rolls. Our highly precise and quality-controlled engraving process ensures that each characteristic of the roll meets your specifications, providing a smooth and consistent ink release. Our technology and process control gives you the choice between two unmatched families of anilox rolls

-- PROLINE TM and NOVALINE TM -- each offering superior performance based on your critical requirements.

Proline Tm

Having the proper cell volume and structure is necessary for accurate color reproduction. PST can verify consistent cell volume because we use the latest process measurement technologies.

Novaline Tm

NOVALINE™ series engravings are obtained using the latest laser technology, where the beam is deflected and modulated at high speed to create a digital definition of each cell.

Most popular pattern in use today. Transfers ink to the plate easily producing uniform structures. Cell angle does not interfere with plate angle.

The SLR engraving process is highly resistant, this technology is part of the standard 60° engraving, so switching to SLR is simple and immediate.

UVGOLD engraving has a very low ratio between volume and cell depth, making it suitable for highly viscous (UV) inks. Maximum achievable volume for a given screen count is increased by 20% to 30%.

ARTGOLD imprints using the Anilox Reverse Technology (ART), raising “pins“ between the cells. It has become a standard for offset coating, and for laying water-based and UV adhesives and coatings. It is perfect for high opacity white ink.

The HELICAL engravings open structure offers a much better release for the gravure and coater applications. Optimizes the use high viscosity materials, and high volume capacity operations.

ISF engraving (Ink Spitting-Free) is effective in preventing spitting. The use of channel engraving allows the ink to flow within the engraved channel across the anilox surface, decreasing the ink build-up and hydraulic pressure of the blade.

NOVASILVER increases the print density by 10% without any specification changes. Rolls perform at optimal levels, and are highly efficient, even on highly absorbent substrates. The structured engraving improves ink release when using water-based inks.

TIFG engraving allows for a high density ink lay-down. Good for highviscosity materials. The continuous channels in the engraving allow the coating materials to permanently flow.
