specialized solutions for Flexography
Results every time the press rolls
At Praxair Surface Technologies, we incorporate our know-how from high-tech industries such as aerospace, energy and oil exploration into the coating and engraving techniques we’ve developed over the years. The result is uncompromised high-precision engravings for superior ink release.
The anilox roll’s unique ink distribution system is what separates flexography from other printing disciplines. That’s why it’s so critical that your anilox roll is manufactured to perform with consistency and reliability. And precise manufacturing of the underlying anilox roll, superior coatings for the hardest of finishes and high-precision engravings for superior ink release are our specialty.
