In this detailed video in 2018, Merrill Mobius from the Heidelberg Print Media Center in Atlanta introduces the groundbreaking GTT anilox roller technology used in Heidelberg's coating units. Joined by Peter Halbert, Product Manager for Coatings at Heidelberg USA, they delve into the evolution of anilox rollers, from mechanically engraved to the advanced GTT rollers.
The GTT roller boasts significant improvements, including a unique cell design and a laser-engraved surface for smoother, more consistent coating applications. Compared to traditional anilox rollers, the GTT provides higher gloss, fewer air bubbles, and potential coating volume savings. In testing, the GTT roller showed up to 16% reduction in coating consumption while maintaining or improving quality.
With over 500 GTT rollers installed globally, including 75 in the U.S., this innovative technology is transforming coating processes for printers, particularly in food packaging, where it helps reduce ink migration.
Watch this video to discover how GTT technology can enhance your print quality and efficiency.
