The K Lox Proofer from RK Print is the simplest method of applying flexo inks and other fluid coatings onto any substrate to produce accurate and repeatable proofs that closely resemble conventional flexo printing. It is an essential tool for ink makers and printers alike.
A bead of ink is placed between an engraved anilox roller and a rubber roller. Constant pressure between the rollers is ensured by two weights, and when the K Lox is drawn smoothly over the substrate an accurate film of ink is printed, producing a sample up to 4.5” (115 mm) wide.
Hand and Automatic Versions
Both hand and automatic versions are available. The hand version is recommended for visual colour matching, while the automatic version is ideal for computer colour matching. Fully interchangeable rollers up to 500 screen let the operator match the proofer to the required ink film and application.
Applications

The K Lox Proofer gives instant flexo proofs, is easy to use and clean, offers excellent repeatability and reduces press down-time.
