Audits and Why They're Important
Audits provide detailed information on the status of your anilox rolls by taking impressions of cells to be analyzed by technicians using specialized software. Details include volume/BCM/density, cell depth, cell wall width, and engraving. Based on the analysis, you can find out if your rolls are plugged, worn, or damaged and in need of repair. If your rolls are in good shape, an audit provides a starting point for monitoring their condition over time and preparing for the future.
Roll audits offer long term tracking solutions and great value by allowing you the ability to budget, prioritize for planned maintenance and minimize production downtime. Audits also provide you with the ability to consistently meet your density targets by being proactive rather than reactionary.

How To: Audits
Audits are taken by our experienced team members – reach out to your territory’s salesperson to schedule a visit for an audit. Not sure who your sales person is? Contact us.
If your location is closed to outside visitors or there is another reason your Pamarco salesman can’t come to your facility to perform an audit, you can request an Audit Kit. We will send you all the necessary tools to take an audit yourself and have provided step-by-step instructions on our YouTube channel.

Banded Rolls
Banded rolls are a useful tool when testing engravings. We engrave multiple line screens and volumes across one anilox so you can compare engravings side by side.
