Doctors Do Lots

Foley believes that high-quality carbon steel doctor blades have proven themselves to be the best overall solution for flexo printing requirements. "In addition, the radius edge (rounded) wiping tip has gained wide acceptance in flexo in the past few years," says Foley. "This tip configuration seats quickly, and due to the fact that it is not ground, causes the least amount of trauma to the anilox surface during the seating process."
