Doctor Blade Configurations for
Corrugated Press Supplies

Corrugated presses use different doctor blade configurations to control ink transfer and print quality.
The most common corrugated press supplies include enclosed chamber doctor blade systems and single doctor blade systems. Each configuration affects ink metering, press cleanliness, anilox protection, and overall corrugated print performance.

Enclosed chamber doctor blade systems are commonly used corrugated press supplies that provide sealed ink delivery, consistent metering, and reduced ink waste on corrugated flexographic presses.

Single doctor blade systems use an open ink tray and a single metering blade to control ink on the anilox roll. This configuration is often used in corrugated printing applications with lower ink volumes or simpler press setups.

Q: What doctor blade configuration is best for corrugated printing?
A: The best doctor blade configuration for corrugated printing depends on press design and ink requirements. Enclosed chamber systems offer cleaner operation and consistent ink metering, while single doctor blade systems provide a simpler setup for certain corrugated press applications.
