TruPoint Keon Meters like Steel

The TruPoint Keon doctor blade combines the stiffness and thinness of steel with the long blade life of plastic. TruPoint Keon maintains a fine contact area with the anilox roll, effectively metering high anilox line screens and producing precise ink and coating lay down.

TruPoint Keon will not Damage the Anilox Roll

A costly concern with using steel doctor blades is the potential for anilox roll scoring. Compared to steel, TruPoint Keon does not crack or splinter which can cause roll scoring. The material, although stiff and durable, will not damage the anilox roll or create particles within your ink.

TruPoint Keon Outlasts Steel

TruPoint plastic and polymer doctor blades are generally known to outlast traditional steel doctor blades due to the natural durability of plastic. The ability of TruPoint Keon to withstand heat and abrasive chemicals extends blade life tremendously, resulting in fewer blade changes, better metering over an extended period and more press uptime!

TruPoint Keon is Safe to Handle

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