The Esiproof is a precision instrument for producing realistic, high quality flexographic proofs. Applications include color proofing for both customer approval and spectrophotometer readings. Use of a doctor blade enables the proofing of all flexo inks, including high viscosity, UV curing. Both steel and ceramic anilox rollers are easily interchangeable.
The Esiproof consists of a precision engineered unit in which the anilox roller, EPDM stereo roller and doctor blade are easily located. The substrate to be proofed is placed onto a flat hard surface. A few drops of ink from a pipette are dropped into the ink reservoir formed by the doctor blade. The unit is then pulled over the substrate to produce a proof. Proofs up to 1 metre long and 70mm wide can be made.
