Doctor Blade & Print Management

Today, the doctor blade is recognized as an integral process element of the printing press. Investing a few minutes in proper positioning, installation, chamber alignment, orientation, angle and pressure of doctor blade chamber set-up will be more worth deal than hauling the anilox scoring, poor safety record, short blade life, UV ink spitting, in-consistent print. Blade positioning, orientation, angle and pressure will affect the delivery of a precise amount of ink to the plate and proper installation will give the printer control over consistent, repeatable print quality, metering more precisely, eliminating print defects, extending your blade life, printing cleaner dots longer, avoiding mid-run press stops, reducing annual doctor blade spend, preventing premature anilox roll/cylinder wear and triming customer complaints from print defects. This one day training session is designed as “doctor blade & print management”, suitable for anyone involved in the printing and packaging industry and provides a structured learning environment to explore advanced concepts of doctor blade materials, selection, installation, handling, troubleshooting and addresses various topics through hands-on activities, exercises, case studies accompanied with presentations and discussion.
