K LOX

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.
