For the past decade Pamarco has been the supplier of laser engraved anilox for the offset coating market, with a goal to improve upon the technologies that enhance and support the offset coating process. The company has developed products specifically tailored to this industry including, Fiberlyte which is the premier carbon fiber anilox technology in the marketplace and the company’s latest engraving technology, EFlo, demonstrates Pamarco’s commitment to engineering products to perform for offset coating printers.
In order to make the right engravings selection, it is important to understand the various engravings available and which application they are designed for. EFlo 75° engravings work especially well when applying some of today’s difficult specialty coatings. The EFlo 75° engraving will allow for a smoother and more consistent lay down and will remain easier to clean for longer periods of time. In addition to EFlo. ThermaFlo 60° is typically used for UV and Aqueous coatings in the5.0 to 13.0 volume range for light to high gloss applications. Different cell geometries such as Tri- Helical and EFlo engravings are used to improve transfer rates, help prevent “backdoctoring”, chamber pressure, reduce foaming, and improve the appearance of the coatings. Heavier volume ranges, typically 20.0 to 40.0 but also up to 70.0 are used for applications such as Raised UV, Glitter, Textured Coatings, and Glow-In-Dark.
