The SWED/CUT H7® doctor blade has been developed by SWEDEV AB to provide exceptional printing results. With it’s specialized coating it provides a longer blade life with a significant increase in wear resistance and corrosion resistance. This specialized coating has a low surface friction impact which minimizes cylinder wear and prevents the build-up of heat from forming between contact of the blade to the cylinder.

MICROSTRUCTURE MATTERS

Compared to standard strip steel, the H7® doctor blade’s microstructure is defined by it’s small and evenly distributed carbide particulate which assures slow and even edge wear, low friction, and smooth ink film formation.  For you that means a higher quality doctor blade that reduces the likelihood of common print defects, reduces wear to your cylinders, and allows you to run your blades longer.
