Water-Based Ink Foaming: GTT vs. Hexagonal

What influence does the Anilox roll have in reducing ink foaming?

Ink in itself does not foam. It is only when it moves through the ink delivery system that it can start foaming. There are multiple reasons for this, however, micro-foaming can still occur even when the ink delivery system is devoid of any air leaks and using different pumping techniques.

In this white paper, we show you step by step the root cause of ink foaming, how different engravings influence the ink foaming, and what you can do today to reduce this expensive and frustrating printing fault.
