In addition to addressing everyday needs, TruPoint doctor blades consistently solve two problems that have long plagued narrow web printers ; anilox roll scoring and ink spitting. Using plastic doctor blades eliminates steel particulate, one of the leading causes of anilox roll scoring. Plastic doctor blades can also reduce or eliminate ink spitting with UV inks because of the higher surface energy of the polymer material.

Narrow-web presses typically utilize a single, reverse angle blade or a enclosed doctor blade “chamber”. TruPoint doctor blades are compatible with these configurations and others and are made in a range of materials, thicknesses, and edge profiles. Many materials are thin & stiff, and resist mechanical creep. These properties make our products an ideal replacement for steel blades.

Flexo Concepts produces a number of doctor blade products ideal for production of high-quality tags and labels. TruPoint Orange was specially engineered for this market in 2014, and introduced our MicroTip® edge technology.  This lamella tipped doctor blade has become the standard for many printers and OEMs in this space.  Our newest innovation TruPoint Keon, increases performance further by elevating stiffness, chemical, and heat resistance to the highest in the TruPoint product family.
