Spray etching may be rooted in centuries-old etching techniques, but today it remains a highly precise and valuable method for modern embossing roll production.

Our latest Apex Academy blog explains how spray etching works, why it is ideal for fine details and consistent depth, and where it fits within today’s embossing applications.

If your coating results are inconsistent, it might not be your process. It could be your anilox.

Traditional engravings can trap air during coating transfer, leading to pinholes, uneven gloss, and higher coating usage.

There is a better way.

GTT technology improves how coating flows and releases, helping you get smoother results while using less material.

Want to understand what is really happening on press and how to fix it?

Struggling with inconsistent print quality or using more ink than usual?

Your anilox might be the reason.

Over time, anilox cells get plugged with ink, coatings, and debris—even if the roll looks clean. That buildup reduces how much ink actually transfers during printing.

The result?
👉 Faded color
👉 Print defects
👉 Constant press adjustments

In our latest blog, we explain why proper anilox cleaning is critical—and how it directly impacts your print performance.

Is digital printing replacing flexo?

Short answer: No.

What is actually happening is a shift in how each technology is used.

✔ Digital = flexibility and short runs
✔ Flexo = speed, consistency, and scale
✔ Hybrid = the future

The smartest converters are not choosing one over the other.
They are using both.

We explain everything in our latest blog.

Water-based inks are becoming more common in flexographic printing as the industry moves toward more sustainable solutions.

But achieving consistent color and clean print quality with water-based systems requires the right process control.

In this quick video, we look at how improved visibility into the printing process can help maintain stable ink transfer and better print results.

Learn how water-based inks impact flexographic printing and how better ink transfer improves print consistency, color density, and production stability.

Many people assume ink density in flexographic printing is simple: choose the right anilox volume and you get the right color strength.

But real pressrooms know it is not that easy.

Two anilox rolls with the same volume can produce very different results depending on engraving geometry, ink release, and how efficiently ink transfers to the plate and substrate.

In our latest article we break down why ink density is about more than volume and how modern engraving designs are improving print stability and reducing ink consumption.

Discover why anilox volume alone cannot control ink density in printing and how modern engraving design delivers stronger, more consistent results.

Laser engraving is often seen as the most advanced embossing technology available today. And while the machines are impressive, the real difference comes from the people behind them.

Behind every precisely engraved embossing roller is a coordinated effort between designer, operator, and engraver. A high-quality scan. Accurate grayscale conversion. Controlled pulse intensity. Fine-tuned machine settings. Experience.

Technology alone does not guarantee results.

In our latest blog, we explain how laser engraving works, how it compares to traditional engraving, and why expertise still matters more than the newest machine.

Anilox sleeves are a precision investment.

But most damage doesn’t happen on press. It happens during handling, staging, and storage.

Small impacts. Surface scratches. Dust contamination.

Over time, they affect ink transfer and consistency.

That’s exactly why we developed Anilox Armor sleeve covers — practical protection built for real production environments.

It’s not about adding steps.

It’s about protecting the performance you already depend on.
