Unique Surface Engineering that Makes Sense
Harper's new Terminator™ ceramic anilox series brings you the first economic alternative to mechanically engraved anilox surfaces. Utilizing Harper's exclusive MicroCluster™ Ceramic Technology, these unique anilox surfaces deliver the "ink film" necessary to print the color your customer specifies.

TERMINATOR™
Ceramic Anilox with MicroCluster™ Technology only from Harper for use with Rubber Roll Metering Systems.

With thousands of successful installations, the Terminator™ anilox roll offers excellent print capability for line and solid printing, as well as tone and reverse print. (Not recommended for tone more than 35 line screen.)

This special MicroCluster™ ceramic anilox provides you with excellent durability, more than twice the life of mechanically engraved ceramic or chrome anilox rolls, and is priced comparable to these older types of anilox rolls. Replaces anilox volumes ranging from 8 - 12 BCMs. (Measured by Harper's Echotopography™ interferometric technology.)

TERMINATOR™

The tough MicroCluster™
ceramic surface features a plasma particle ink film carrying matrix.

TERMINATOR Plus™
Ceramic Laser Treated MicroCluster™ Technology only from Harper for use with Blade Metering Systems.

The TerminatorPlus™ is a new breed of anilox rolls specifically designed for corrugated printers using doctor blade metering systems. (However, this roll also works very well for rubber roll metering.)

TerminatorPlus™ is produced using Harper's MicroCluster™ technology finished with our exclusive Advanced Laser Surface Treatment™. This provides precise volume accuracy to the already durable anilox surface. You will experience the benefits of a typical laser engraved ceramic anilox surface at approximately ½ the cost. Replaces anilox volumes ranging from 8 - 12 BCMs. (Measured by Harper's Echotopography™ interferometric technology.)

Excellent Print Quality for High Speed Brown Box to Mottled White
Terminator™ anilox technology delivers ink films with precise thickness, providing excellent line and block print under high-speed conditions. Tone or vignette printing of good quality can be obtained up to 35 line screens. See Terminator™ volume chart for more details on anilox selection process.

Faster Print Speeds while Maintaining Quality
Terminator™ technology delivers a thin, more uniform, film of ink from anilox to plate to substrate, at a thickness designed to print on absorbent linerboard. This allows for faster drying of ink, resulting in increased run speeds; reduced smearing; and less offset from sheet to sheet with difficult colors and designs. The logic for this is simple: Mechanically engraved cells transfer droplets of ink that after transferred must flow together to form a uniform film of ink (if not, you experience striation). These thick, slower drying droplets can slow the drying process, and your print speeds must slow to allow time for this to take place. The Terminator™ transfers a uniform film of ink, which enhances the drying process.

The Terminator™ ceramic surface transfers a uniform film of ink.

The Mechanically Engraved anilox transfers a non-uniform ink film, which can slow drying.

Advanced Durability and Damage Resistance
The Terminator's™ world class ceramic technology delivers advanced durability and damage resistance. You get more than 3 times the protective coating thickness of mechanically engraved chrome and ceramic coatings. With proper care and maintenance, more than three years of life can be expected. Each good quality print impression costs you only a fraction of a penny. This also reduces downtime and overtime costs associated with early anilox change out costs.

Repair Your Anilox In-Press
If your anilox roll gets damaged in a non-critical print area; repair it on the spot with Harper's unique ChipFix™. A repair takes less than an hour, and this can potentially add years of life to your anilox because you will not need to pull anilox roll due to a little damage on the end. ChipFix™ can also save your rubber rolls, if your anilox is repaired before it damages them.

Advanced Volume Measurement Technology
With Harper's advanced volume measurement technology called Echotopography™, you get accurate reproduction quality from our manufacturing process. This measurement technology combined with the Terminator's™ MicroCluster™ surface ensures the anilox volume accuracy needed for good quality from one roll to the next.
