Saphira PLP Anilox Rollers are the key component in the coating process and have been developed to meet the highest demands in commercial, packaging, and label printing. Thanks to the patented Pulsed Laser Process, they deliver outstanding dimensional accuracy, consistently precise engravings, and highly controlled coating transfer. This ensures reproducible finishing results, reduces waste, and provides stable performance with both water‑based and UV coatings. As part of the integrated HEIDELBERG system, they deliver maximum quality, efficiency, and reliability throughout the entire printing process.

Saphira PLP Anilox Rollers are manufactured by HEIDELBERG on state‑of‑the‑art production lines. The patented Pulsed Laser Process ensures extremely precise engravings, consistently high dimensional accuracy, and reliable coating transfer. Supported by an optimized quality‑control process, the result is long‑lasting anilox rollers that deliver consistent performance and high process stability in daily production.
HEIDELBERG controls the entire manufacturing process in its own production facility – from the raw cylinder through coating to the final quality inspection. This fully integrated process chain ensures maximum dimensional accuracy and complete traceability for every roller.
The optimized laser engraving produces an exceptionally uniform surface. The result is highly homogeneous coating layers, reduced misting and drop formation, and visibly consistent high gloss results – with both conventional and UV coatings.
Perfect Screen combines the advantages of proven engraving types and delivers exceptionally smooth coating surfaces, higher gloss results, and — depending on the application — a reduction in coating consumption. The optimized structure enables more homogeneous coating surface, faster drying, and stable production performance with both water‑based and UV coatings, while significantly reducing foam formation.
