Beyond a Cleaner Surface
See what changed.
Understand the results.
Your service includes a roll report with before-and-after BCM readings and MicroDynamics 3D images where measurement and imaging are possible. That gives your team a clearer view of the roll’s condition and the volume recovered through cleaning.
Measure usable cell volume
BCM readings describe cell volume—the capacity available to carry ink or coating.
Compare before and after
Review measurements alongside 3D images to see the effect of removing buildup.
Inform your maintenance routine
Use the report to track roll condition and help plan future cleaning.
PLAN THE SERVICE AROUND YOUR WORK
A clear plan. An experienced ARCS technician.
Start with your rolls and your schedule. We’ll help work through the service details before the cleaning begins.
