K LOX
A bead of ink is placed between an engraved anilox roller and a rubber roller as illustrated below. It is essential to have constant pressure between the rollers for consistent prints and this is ensured by two weights. When the K Lox is drawn smoothly over the substrate an accurate film of ink is printed producing a sample up to 4.5” (115mm) wide. After removing the weights, both rollers are easily cleaned. Anilox rollers with screens for solid, line and half-tone printing may be selected as required.

HAND K LOX
The Hand K Lox provides a cost effective and simple means of proofing flexo inks. It is available as a single unit or may be ordered as a comprehensive system. The Hand K Lox complete system comes with 3 standard engraved anilox rollers, 2 rubber rollers and a cleaning storage rack.

AUTOMATIC K LOX
With a little practice, the K Lox user is able to produce consistent results with the hand unit. However, where a number of operators may be involved or when the highest degree of repeatability is demanded (e.g. when using the prints for computer colour matching), the Automatic K Lox is recommended. This machine eliminates any variation in speed and pressure and an accurate print is produced every time. The unit operates at variable speeds up to 15m/min. An air driven version is available for use in hazardous areas.

ACCESSORIES
Cleaning/storage rack for up to 6 rollers.
Wide shouldered rubber roller.
