Doctor blades are a key component within any flexo or gravure printing press, they wipe the excess ink off the anilox rollers and gravure cylinders. They are a highly engineered length of steel and should be handled with care by press operators. Once placed in the press, the blades can become razor sharp, with our blade protectors, you can be sure your employees are well protected.
