On-Press:
This service is completely turn-key. Your rolls stay in your press and we perform all the work. We will schedule around your downtime either on a weekday or on the weekend. Our on-press option is popular typically for jumbo rollers and large presses. However, this service will work just as well for smaller press and rollers that are difficult to remove.
Off-Press:
Our technician will bring a roll cart that is capable of handling a wide range of rolls sizing from small label rollers to large, wide-web rollers. Our equipment does not require a lot of room for this service, therefore it will occupy very little floor space.
We are in the “WOW” business, because after we clean a client’s roller, they usually proclaim, “WOW – my roll is printing like it’s new!” We hear this a lot – we truly specialize in restoring ink or coating volume levels to original manufacturers’ specifications. Our cleaning method is “universal” – it doesn’t matter what kind of roller or what type of residue is left on it – we can clean it.

Anilox Baking Soda was originally developed
by Arm and Hammer. This proprietary, engineered formula allows f
or superior yet gentle cleaning, a dust-free application and is
environmentally-friendly. Regular baking soda (like the stuff found in our refrigerators) will not work!
The particle size of the Anilox formula starts out at about 70 microns. When it “hits” the roller face under low pressure, it instantly fractures into many smaller particles. This is what enables the soda to get to the bottom of the cell – the fractured baking soda gets as small as 7-8 microns.
ARCS has done extensive testing with a leading roll manufacturer, and has documented proof that soda cleaning can effectively clean any line screen count up to 1500 without a problem.
Because Anilox baking soda is classified as non-hazardous, and because it’s used in a dry process (no rewetting of inks or coatings occurs), any waste generated is usually not subject to any special handling or disposal requirements – check with your local authorities to make sure of this.
Our cleaning is universal and works on virtually any kind of roll, any kind of residue, and any kind of press. The below lists the most common types of all three that we encounter on a regular basis:
Rollers | Residues | Presses |
|---|---|---|
