With growing graphics requirements and economic pressures, selecting the correct doctor blade for your application is critical to ensure the delivery of a consistent ink or coating film thickness to the printing plate. Blade choice depends on factors as simple as the purpose of the blade, whether for metering or containing, and as complex as graphic requirements, print, viscosity, substrate, anilox surface, temperature, speed, run length, and safety. While achieving maximum blade life is important, selecting the correct blade for your application is crucial to prevent inferior print quality, accelerated blade wear, and anilox damage.
