Anilox Laser Finish — The Deep Clean Your Laser Can’t Deliver

Used after laser cleaning to remove embedded contaminants from within the ceramic coating itself.

This is where the magic happens. Anilox Laser Finish is a specially formulated liquid that penetrates the porosity of the ceramic coating, dissolves the embedded pigment and resin particles your laser left behind, and lifts them out so they can be flushed away with fresh water.

This is the only practical way — short of ultrasonic cleaning — to address the residual staining, camouflaging, and banding that survive laser treatment. By pulling those contaminants out of the coating, Anilox Laser Finish:

• Eliminates patchy staining and banding that transfer to the printed image
• Restores uniform ink and coating lay-down across the entire roll face
• Dramatically extends time between cleanings — clean ceramic doesn’t attract new contamination as quickly as already-contaminated ceramic
• Works on every ink chemistry: water-based, solvent, UV, and oil-based

When the anilox goes back on press, there’s no hidden contamination waiting to seed the next plug-up. You start clean and stay clean longer.

How to Apply

For best results, apply Anilox Laser Finish using one of our Erazor applicator sponges (available separately). Place a small amount on the sponge and work it into the ceramic surface in a circular motion across and around the entire roll face.

Important: Never spot-clean a section of the anilox. Treating only part of the surface leaves a witness mark — a boundary where the cleaned area releases ink differently than the surrounding area, which transfers directly to your print. Always treat the full surface uniformly.

Once worked in, flush with fresh water and dry with one of our microfiber pads.
