anilox roller
anilox roller (In French rouleau/cylindre anilox) designation for ink and varnish feed rollers whose origin is in former flexo printing with “aniline dyes”; the screen-type engraved ceramic surface (“screen roller”) has also proved to be advantageous in water-less offset short inking units (KBA Gravuflow/Newsflow, KBAMetroPrint), since the ink key control of inking is implemented through the viscosity-dependent ink transfer quantity with the help of a tempering device.
