ITR Laser Engraving: Creating an Impression

North West Roller Services Ltd produce high-quality ITR Laser Engraving tools. For those not in the know, ITR is an abbreviation of (In The Round), meaning the engraved design on the roller repeats itself in diameter, printing without any join line.

ITR Laser Engraving and Furnishing Rollers

ITR Laser Engraving is offered for furnishing rollers.

Furnishing rollers and application Rollers are used for all types of coatings because these rollers have an engraved surface comprising a fine holding cell or line structure TPI (threads per inch). This means the furnishing roller can easily apply an even coating with the correct density.

• Draw Rollers: To guide and draw paper
