COATING TRANSFER INNOVATIONS FOR OFFSET

GTTOFFSET

Metering Rolls

OPEN SLALOM CHANNEL Sets your coating free and avoids turbulence and foaming.

CONSTANT BEAM LASER ENGRAVING Our continuous laser process creates a consistent and

precise channel. This proven, patented technology guarantees a controlled coating transfer.

SUPER-HARD HYBRID CERAMIC Apex GTT hybrid ceramic layer uses 80% CrO2 and adds

20% Titanium Dioxide particles, which minimizes porosity.

Apex GTTOFFSET rolls are nothing short ofa revolution in quality coating transfer.

UltraCellAnilox Rolls

Offset professionals know that coatings and varnishes can bring a printed piece to life- or ruin it. Orange-peel and pinholing can diminish even the finest, tightest-register multi-color job. But most printers don’t realize

they have options to boost quality, predictability and profitability in their lacquer-transfer anilox rolls.With Apex, now the choice is yours. Tested, approved and recommended by leading press manufacturers, our UltraCell and revolutionary GTT coating rolls deliver quality, reliability and profitability for all of your coating requirements.

Customer Quotes“My print quality has gone up, because of the smooth and equal coating layer“

“I used the same amount of coating and the number of gloss points increased enormously while using GTT L”

“I save a lot on coating and achieve the same result“

CERAMIC SURFACE Homogenous and compact ceramic with a porosity less

than 1% without using any sealer and post treatment.

ULTRAMELT LASER ENGRAVING All conventional anilox rolls are engraved with a pulse

laser, using the UltraMelt technology, a method that melts the ceramic after engraving, resulting in a smooth ceramic layer.

Apex UltraCell anilox rolls are deliverablein all requested engraving specifications.
