Hello Guy.
With the Heidelberg Anicolor is easier, is correct the only way to change the ink quantity is with the temperature and changing the anilox. But the advantage that this press has is that is so stable if the press conditions (inks, anilox and temperature) also are. So if you have success with a G7 procedure, and the solid colorimetric are ok, then the print shop only needs take care of this press conditions, my recommendation is that you must create a print condition standard, with the all parameters that drived you to get a right results, temperature of each print body, kind and lines of anilox of each print unit, and so on. That will give you the consistent that you need.
Additional, in just like a tip, is not necessary that all the Anilox has the same lines, sometimes you need mix it to get the right colorimetry and this is correct.

Has anyone had any experience working with a Heidelberg Anicolor press? This machine has no ink keys. Calibrations are going well but I am looking for input as to long term stability of the curves as the only input the press operator has is to change the temperature of the anilox inking to promote or retard ink transfer through the roller train.
