TruPoint DuraPoint Doctor Blade Features
DuraPoint’s Superior Blade Life
TruPoint plastic and polymer doctor blades are generally known to outlast traditional steel doctor blades, due to the natural durability of plastic. TruPoint DuraPoint’s enhanced, high-density UHMW formulation outlasts a traditional UHMW doctor blade, increasing press uptime and decreasing the frequency of blade changes.
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.

DuraPoint is Safe to Handle
You can significantly reduce press room injuries by replacing steel doctor blades with safe TruPoint doctor blades. The properties of the blade material reduce the risk of injury when installing and removing blades from the press.
