The K-Lox Proofer is the simplest method of applyingflexo inks and other fluid coatings onto any substrate toproduce accurate and repeatable proofs that closelyresemble conventional flexo printing.
Proofs for quality control, presentation samples, R&D and computer color matching data.
A bead of ink is placed between an engraved anilox roller and a rubber roller as illustrated below. It is essential to have constant pressure between the rollers for consistent prints and this is ensured by two weights. When the K Lox is drawn smoothly over the substrate an accurate film of ink is printed producing a sample up to 4.5” (115mm) wide. After removing the weights, both rollers are easily cleaned. Anilox rollers with screens for solid, line and half-tone printing may be selected as required.
Provides cost-effective and simple means of proofing flexo inks. It is available as a single unit or may be ordered as a comprehensive system.
Complete with 3 standard engraved anilox rollers, 2 rubber rollers and a cleaning/storage rack.
Recommended where a number of operators may be involved or when the highest degree of repeatability is demanded such as prints for computer color matching. Eliminates any variation in speed and pressure. An accurate print is produced every time. The unit operates at variable speeds up to 15m/min.
The Automatic K Lox is also available as a system
An air-driven version is available for use in hazardous areas.
