Today, flexography is one of the most common printing techniques, the improvement of the equipment allows printing on all kinds of printing substrates (packaging, paper, labels, foils ..). Different parameters concerning technology, type of making polymer plates, pressure in the press, anilox roller and different printing substrates affect the quality of reproduction. When printing, there are certain limitations to the reproduction of smooth transitions that create the effect of broken tones in bright areas and reducing the range of tones in the press. The transfer of the printing ink on the printing plate, the excess dyestuff is removed using a squeegee, and this operation significantly affects the wear of anilox roller, also to transfer the printing ink affects the cleanliness and maintenance of the anilox roller. The aim is to examine how in the particular period of time the volume of anilox roller is reducing, ie. How much the amount of cells that are subsequently filled with UV dye is reduced. Volume of cells has the significant impact on quality of reproduction. The results of this research gives new insights into the clogging cell dye through a certain period of time, and that frequent washing anilox roller does not affect the meterage, but affects the number of modified work orders.
