The company has been involved in the manufacturing of mechanically engraved anilox rollers for the last 30 years. Shashank Patel, sales manager, SPG Prints, said, “For coating applications, the mechanically engraved anilox rollers are preferred over chemically etched rollers and imported ceramic rollers.”

According to Patel, the mechanically engraved rollers are capable of working in the coating transfer range of 1.5gsm to 15gsm. “This is the USP,” said Patel.

Besides this, the company also showcased rotary screen for flexo printing and direct laser engraving system (DLE) flexo CTP   for digital pre-press plates, sleeves, etc. Mohanish Satam of SPG Prints said, “The DLE systems from SPG Prints can be used for printing processes such as dry offset, flexo, letterpress and rotary screen printing applications.”

Satam informed PrintWeek India that the company has sold a software Best Image 3D CAD - CAM based RIP to flexible packaging major Uflex  at its Jammu site. The Best Image software drives Uflex’s DLE kit and the installation is seen as a breakthrough for SPG Prints in India.
