Challenge 
The client’s Anilox roll had lost significant volume capacity and cell depth over time. Before
cleaning, the measured volume had dropped to 2.78 cm³/m², and cell depth was only 10.8 μm,
resulting in poor ink transfer and inconsistent coverage.


Solution
On 8 November 2025, our team performed a laser deep cleaning. This advanced process safely
removed embedded residues without damaging the roll surface.


Results
• Volume restored: from 2.78 cm³/m² to 8.36 cm³/m²
• Cell depth increased: from 10.8 μm to 34.9 μm
• Print quality: uniform ink coverage achieved
• Extended lifespan: improved roll performance and durability


Outcome
The Cape Town client now benefits from sharper, more consistent print results and reduced
long‑term costs thanks to the extended service life of the Anilox roll.
