1. Highest Packing Density: Arranges most tightly within a given area, providing up to 15% more cells than the 45° screen angle arrangement. 2. Increased Ink Transfer: Delivers more ink on the same surface area of the anilox roll. 3. Thinner Walls, Shallower Cells: Features thinner cell walls and reduced cell depth. 4. Easier Cleaning: Simplifies the cleaning process. 5. Reduced Doctor Blade Wear: The gentler cell wall angles require less pressure, lowering doctor blade wear. 6. Less Roll Wear: Reduced blade pressure also decreases anilox roll wear.
Printing Differences Between Honeycomb and Quadrilateral Cells

1. At the same screen ruling and depth, the volume is 100%-120% larger than that of traditional honeycomb cells; At the same screen ruling and depth, the volume is 20%-30% larger than that of diagonal line cells. 2. Resolves the thin-thick edge issue when using diagonal line cells. 3. The small proportion of cell walls greatly improves the leveling effect in printing (coating). 4. The mesh holes are not easily clogged during long-term operation and are easier to clean. 5. According to the cell arrangement structure, the paste flows more easily in theory, resulting in less wear on the plate roller.
Disadvantages
● Due to the special shape of the cells, the wear on the doctor blade is greater, increasing the frequency of blade replacement. ● More suitable for products with higher paste viscosity. The specific service life cannot be provided due to differences in working conditions among companies; it is recommended to match the paste characteristics to develop the most suitable operation plan for your company.

1. With the same screen ruling and depth, the volume is 100%-120% larger than that of traditional honeycomb-shaped dots. 2. Suitable for high-viscosity slurries, providing good leveling effects. 3. Mainly used in coating reverse coating processes, resulting in a flatter film surface on the substrate with excellent uniformity. 4. Mesh holes are less likely to clog during long-term operation, making cleaning more convenient. 5. Coating customers can adjust the equipment speed ratio to apply coatings of different thicknesses, extending the service life of the plate roller.
Note:
Due to the fluidity of the slurry, it flows under the influence of gravity during actual coating, causing edge overflow. With a right-slanting line, the left edge thickness after printing is greater than the right; with a left-slanting line, the left edge thickness after printing is less than the right.
