Which Doctor Blade
Is Right For You?

All doctor blades are not created equal, and the same doctor blade material can perform differently depending on application variables like speed, surface roughness, ink or coating abrasiveness, or the surface being cleaned. To help find the right product in our portfolio we’ve created a rating system (1-5) for different performance characteristics including stiffness, creep, metering, and wear.

These ratings are guidelines and performance will vary based on operating conditions, but they do serve as a guide to give you a relative comparison across products.

Stiffness
Metering
Fatigue
Wear
Stiffness
Stiffness

A blade’s resistance to bending under pressure. A stiffer blade maintains its shape, ensuring consistent metering of inks and coatings, or more durability when used for cleaning.

The rankings below were calculated based on stiffness after running on a press for 1 hour.

Stiffness
Metering
Fatigue
Wear
Creep
Fatiuge

Fatigue is the tendency of a doctor blade to lose its stiffness over time when pressed against the anilox or other roller. This loss of stiffness decreases metering efficiency and reduces print quality.

Metering

To meter effectively is to control the volume and uniformity of ink or coating during transfer to another surface or material.

Wear is the gradual loss of material from a doctor blade’s wiping edge due to friction and contact with the roller or other surface.
