DuraPoint Eliminates Anilox Scoring

A costly concern with using steel doctor blades is the potential for anilox roll scoring and anilox wear. Compared to steel, TruPoint doctor blades do not crack or splinter, causing roll scoring. While the material is stiff and durable,  TruPoint DuraPoint will not damage or wear down the anilox roll or cause particles within your ink.
