Optimizing Ink Usage Through Anilox and Doctor Blade Selection
10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Presented by Ron King and Marty Cansler, Daetwyler
Often printers are faced with pricing challenges from CPC groups in order to stay competitive. They look to their supply chain to help them reduce spend. In some cases, this has been achieved through price reduction of consumable products, but often more financially beneficial solutions can be realized through a service-oriented, inclusive supply chain.
Ron and Marty will present actual data to show how anilox rollers and doctor blades working together can provide ink reductions, but still be able to maintain the same levels of quality. Different engraving types can be utilized to help facilitate better ink transfer, but the key is using a specific doctor blade which is matched to the engraving in order to duplicate and sustain the initial test results.
