Advanced Engravings Built for Performance
Apex offers a full range of laser-engraved anilox solutions designed to push performance beyond what traditional cell geometries can deliver.
UltraCell engravings take conventional anilox cell technology to the next level. Engraved at a slower pace, UltraCell creates a melted and fused ceramic inner cell wall that requires no additional sealants, resulting in ultimate liquid transfer. Ultra precise and ultra durable, UltraCell engravings are available in a wide range of geometries including Hex 60°, 45°, Longcell, Channellox, Trihelical, 60° Bottoms Up, and 45° Bottoms Up, giving printers the flexibility to match the right cell structure to their specific application.

For printers demanding the absolute highest level of print consistency and ink transfer control, Apex’s patented GTT 2.0 open slalom channel engraving represents the most advanced anilox technology available in the market today. GTT’s open-channel geometry features a reduced channel depth and no wall obstructions, allowing ink and coatings to flow freely through the roll. This design eliminates many of the most common and costly print defects, including ink spitting, foaming, pinholing, mottling, and dot gain, enabling printers to consistently meet the demands of today’s brands, profitably.
By delivering consistent, predictable ink transfer across a broader range of applications, GTT 2.0 also gives printers the flexibility to reduce their anilox inventory by up to 50%, cutting changeovers, reducing troubleshooting time, and maximizing press uptime.

Apex HD Anilox Sleeves: Built by the People Who Know Anilox
The Apex difference doesn’t stop at the roll. Apex HD Anilox Sleeves are the only anilox sleeves designed and built by an anilox manufacturer, and that distinction matters. Built with an ultra-smooth composite interior wall and a super-reinforced construction, Apex sleeves resist swelling, bouncing, and fraying. That means easier loading and unloading, extended roll life, and uncompromising on-press performance.
Because Apex designs and manufactures its own sleeves, they’re engineered specifically to complement Apex anilox technology. No gaps, no compromises, no performance left on the table.
