digital on short run length (300-500m), and you will still be competitive against flexo on longer run (8 000-12 000 m). This is where Aniflo helps you. Aniflo is an inking system, combining offset quality, flexo productivity and digital flexibility. It features an offset unit, with cheap offset plates and a simple anilox delivery system that brings a uniform ink amount across the web. With the lowest operational costs, Aniflo is the most economical choice for short, medium (and even long) runs on any commonly used substrate – filmic, paper, carton... Because it is intermittent and inking consistency is stable, fewer consumables are needed. Make ready time is dramatically reduced, making Aniflo very efficient even for very short run. The high-definition capability and superior stability means Aniflo can print in Extended Gamut Printing, like digital machine, without the inconvenience of high ink costs, click charges or planned obsolescence.
Now, let’s apply this technology and its performance on all your jobs:
the global savings, we can take the example of a converter already equipped with both flexo and digital solution. By printing the jobs on Aniflo that are suitable for this technology (a conservative approach would be 400 m to 8 000 m), this converter would lower its TCO by 33%.
Jobs above 10 000m are not displayed in the charts but taken into account in figures. Aniflo is here the most cost-efficient technology for 73% of the jobs, and 72% of the output (quantity of labels printed).
No surprise then, new Aniflo owners decide to invest in the second Aniflo press on average after just one year and 9 months of the installation of their first Aniflo machine! At Codimag, we are convinced that Aniflo will meet the jobs you have to print, and all the new markets that converters can conquer. Furthermore, with offset quality, versatility, and ability to print on any substrate!
Restore profitability with Aniflo!
