Ultimate water-based flexo printing with special ceramic coating anilox.
Black Pearl Ceramic Coating Anilox
The challenge of low ink transfer in water-based flexo printing has been achieved at 95-100%. Moreover, it allows for high-definition printing, savings on ink costs, and prevention of mottling effects.
A special powder material for which CAE Corporation has obtained exclusive patent rights, allowing for automatic processing in sync with ceramic processing. ■ Smooth and highly hard, resembling black pearls ■ High-precision cell wall width structure ■ The occurrence rate of fine pores is below 0.5%. ■ Ink transfer rate improvement (95-100%) enables over 20% reduction in ink costs. ■ Flexible cell customization ■ Significantly improved cleaning efficiency, allowing for long-term preservation of initial anilox specifications ■ Capable of ultra-high dimension flexographic printing

basic information
Water-based ink, which consists of approximately 50% water, requires careful viscosity management. We have overcome the limitations of traditional 60° honeycomb structure anilox rollers, which had an ink transfer rate of a maximum of 65% and faced challenges with slow ink release from the cells during the printing process. The pigment, which makes up 25% of the water-based ink components, would only be transferred at 65% = 16.25% with the conventional 60° honeycomb structure anilox. Furthermore, as the printing process progresses, ink accumulates at the bottom of the 60-degree honeycomb cells, and as drying occurs, the transfer rate continues to decrease. This leads to variations in color matching and the occurrence of the "mottle effect" due to differences in flow rates. CAE's special ceramic-coated anilox, eCell, releases 95-100% of the ink from the cells due to its elongated structure and shallower cell shape. This allows for the precise transfer of the required amount of pigment needed to achieve effective concentration levels to the plate or substrate, resulting in higher precision outcomes with less quantity compared to the traditional 60-degree honeycomb pattern.
