SM Series Wear-Resistant Doctor Blade for Long Runs
The SM Series doctor blade is built for harsh printing conditions where ordinary blades wear out fast. Its wear-resistant composition holds the edge far longer, extending service life and cutting replacement frequency, while the quick run-in reaches smooth, even ink metering from the start of the job with less material wasted on setup.
Choose SM for gravure printing, flexo printing and industrial coating work that has to stay streak-free. With ink transfer firmly under control and common defects kept off the sheet, the series lifts overall print quality while trimming downtime and running costs.
Key Advantages
Tough wear-resistant material A high wear-resistant composition stands up to abrasive inks and long runs for a notably longer blade life. | Fast run-in The edge beds in quickly against the roller, cutting blade streaks and shortening press setup. |
Handles aggressive inks Stable with solvent-based inks, corrosive inks and varnishes across many applications. | Precision-ground profile Uniform thickness and straightness keep metering consistent throughout the run. |
Gravure, flexo, coating At home in gravure printing, flexographic printing and industrial coating lines. | Stays sharp longer The edge holds its sharpness, so replacements and downtime both drop. |
