Recommendations<\/span><\/h1>\n

We always begin our relationships with printers by learning what improvement opportunities exist within your pressroom. By working together our knowledgeable team will help you determine the best course of action to eliminate print defects, reduce downtime, increase speeds, slow cylinder wear and lower cost-of-goods sold to achieve a higher gross margin.<\/p>\n

Haze<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

To combat against haze, we typically recommend the Microkote\u00ae G 0.08\u201d blade with a lamella tip profile.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.21″ text_orientation=”justified”]<\/p>\n

Streaks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For applications where streaking is a problem, we recommend the super-refined filtering capability of our G2 Qube\u00ae ink filter. It is a proven workhorse that will reduce and eliminate even the smallest damaging debris and known to give years of service.<\/p>\n

Cylinder Wear<\/strong><\/h4>\n

All of our SWED\/CUT\u00ae doctor blades are highly beneficial in eliminating wear and damage to cylinders, especially Microkote\u00ae G. This particular high-density carbon steel material features a micro-refined coating that lowers blade-to-cylinder friction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steel vs. Plastic Doctor Blades<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.21″ text_orientation=”justified”]<\/p>\n

Fine Tip<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The benefit steel has over all forms of plastic doctor blades is it\u2019s rigidity relative to thinness. Steel allows for a very fine tip of less than .003\u201d to meter ink while still resisting flex. If a blade is flexing then it stops metering tightly and increases wear.<\/p>\n

Wear<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

High performance grades of steel like SWED\/CUT\u00ae have the ability to wear slowly and evenly so that the tip remains consistent and smooth, providing optimal metering. Plastic blades tend to wear quicker and newer generations of plastic blades have brittle tips that break and wear unevenly.<\/p>\n

Consistent Clean Metering<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The two above issues play into a steel blade\u2019s ability to consistently meter ink thus reducing print defects associated with dot gain and excessive ink transferring from the anilox to the plate.<\/p>\n
