All Printing Resources Unveils Anilox Laser Cleaning System in Partnership with TWEN
All Printing Resources, Inc. (APR), a solutions provider in the flexographic industry, is excited to announce the introduction of the TWEN anilox laser cleaning system (TAC). This innovative technology, designed to enhance print consistency and quality, is now featured at APR's Technical Center for demonstrations and available to clean anilox sleeves for customers.
The TWEN TAC system addresses a continued critical challenge in the industry: maintaining anilox rolls in pristine condition to ensure consistent ink transfer and print quality while doing so in a way that will not damage the anilox roll. The TWEN TAC technology is a laser-based solution offering a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective method to clean anilox rolls without causing surface wear or damage. Its fully automated 'touch and clean' technology requires no manual input other than entering an ID#. The TAC then reads and verifies diameter and length, ensuring proper laser positioning and creating a topography image of the anilox roll for precise cleaning.
Safety and environmental friendliness are at the forefront of the TAC system. It features numerous safety redundancies and uses no chemicals, making it one of the most eco-friendly solutions on the market. Additionally, its low running costs and minimal consumable use make it an economical choice for flexo printers and converters across industry segments.
Dave Nieman, CEO of All Printing Resources, commented, “Throughout my years in the industry, I’ve seen many anilox roll cleaning innovations. TWEN’s TAC anilox cleaning solution stands out as the safest technology to safeguard anilox rolls, leaving them as close to their original condition as possible. We are thrilled to partner with TWEN, a company that shares our vision of innovation and sustainability in flexographic printing.”
APR also represents MicroDynamics, winner of the 2023 FTA Technical Innovation Award. Their latest product, Veritas, is the most advanced anilox inspection microscope available, complementing the TWEN system's capabilities. This synergy between TWEN's laser cleaning solution and MicroDynamics' inspection technology underscores APR's commitment to offering the best in class solutions to its customers.
