Doctor Blades Manufacturing Process

Our manufacturing process begins with the selection of the finest raw materials available. We apply exacting standards of flatness, straightness and edge thickness through a comprehensive quality control system.

We produce multiple blade and tip designs from a wide variety of materials to fit every printing application. Our perfectly smooth blade tip (contact area) not only provides for high-quality consistent doctoring and allows for minimal blade pressure on start-up thereby reducing blade usage and expensive downtime.

Consistent print quality comes from a consistent printing process. Therefore, our Doctor Blades are held to the industry´s tightest tolerances to better serve printers.

Every Doctor Blade is professionally packaged in continuous coils or cut to length.

We are serious about Doctor Blades. Our experienced product specialists can recommend the proper blade you need for every printing job.
