Advantages of I-ICS centralized ink control system
Inelme’s I-ICS Centralized Ink Control System is an advanced solution designed to improve ink management in flexographic and gravure printing presses. Adaptable to any printer and number of printing stations, the I-ICS offers multiple installation options, including customized cabinets and stands.
Our Ink Control System (I-ICS) monitors and regulates critical parameters such as pigment concentration, viscosity, pH and temperature using high-precision sensors. This guarantees color reproduction with minimal tonal variations and drastically reduces color adjustment times by memorizing the working conditions, allowing the same shade to be reproduced in future repetitions.
The I-ICS is controlled through intuitive software on a touch screen monitor, allowing the management of color labels, concentration, temperature, pH, solvent formulas, evolution graphs and a reusable job history. Traditionally, viscosity has been the main factor in maintaining color, but at Inelme we have innovated by integrating temperature control, ensuring homogeneous color throughout the run.

Up to 80% time savings when cleaning Anilox cylinders with I-Lac machines
Cleaning anilox cylinders has always been one of the biggest concerns for flexo printers. If the cylinders are not perfectly clean, they reduce their transfer capacity and therefore color intensity is lost in the print, with the consequences for production that this may have: invalid prints, longer start-up times, etc.
I-LAC solves this problem effectively thanks to the laser that deeply removes the dried ink from inside the alveoli without damaging the cylinder cells. A specially designed optical laser vaporizes any residue and cleans away dried ink, adhesives, waxes, silicones, etc. Laser technology allows cleaning without exerting any mechanical or thermal action on the anilox cylinder, which allows us to clean even after each use and preserve the useful life of the anilox rollers for much longer.
We have I-LAC machines with measurements from 500 mm in length to 3500 mm (cylinder without shafts), and special measurements can be adapted according to needs.
