RSD Blades are manufactured from a highly refined strip steel specially selected for Doctor Blades. The final product is finished with an extra smooth edge ensuring that the blades perform a clean wiping action on the Gravure cylinder/Anilox roller immediately on start-up.
The printing ink is transferred from recessed ink cavities on the print cylinder onto the print media. The doctor blade plays a major role when wiping off any excess ink. The collaboration between the individual parameters, such as ink, substrate, viscosity, etc., requires an optimized doctor blade in order to achieve the desired print quality.
RSD Doctor Blades are used for Rotogravure & Flexographic printing, as well as Coating applications
