Why Choose Steel Doctor Blades?
Ink build-up can be costly on many fronts. This is why flexo and gravure printers choose steel doctor blades to protect against blade and anilox roll damage. Steel doctor blades are the leading choice for metering ink, better than any other composit.
Keeping the clamping area clean and ink-free makes changing doctor blades faster and more efficient. With unparalleled straightness and tolerances and strict flatness, Provident doctor blades give our customers the precision they need to produce with quality and consistency every time.
