What’s the difference between Normal Ceramic Roller VS ART type?

We have discussed the features of Ceramic rollers last time, long service life, save consumable parts, and more uniform inking, today we are going to share the most common use type in our industry.

Due to the different application, ceramic rollers also have different types (the cell types are different), the Hexagon 60° is the classic one, besides, there are Diamond 45°, Trihelical type, ART type and etc, even some customized type according to customer’s requirements.

In our industry, for flexo printer slotter die-cutter industry, the most common use are Hexagon 60° and ART type, what’s the difference and its features, let’s see bellow chart.

300LPI ceramic roller is the most common use in our daily production, now let’s take it as an example (Reference to Yellow colors).

1. According this above data, we can easily understand when the LPI become much higher, then the Ink Carrying Capacity become smaller.

2. Hexagon 60° type ceramic roller in 300LPI, the ink capacity is 9.0 cm2/m2.
3. ART type ceramic roller in 500LPI, the ink capacity is from 8.0-11.0 cm2/m2.

So that means, when we use higher ART ceramic roller, we can get similar ink capacity result to compare with normal ceramic rollers, in this case we can get different printing applications, see bellow
