Flexographic printing is widely used for printing on packaging materials. It is a printing method which transfers ink to the substrate by anilox roller.

In flexographic printing, the doctor blade is used to remove excess ink from the anilox roller, so the pressure coming from the doctor blade should be low to reduce the wear on the anilox roller and improve the lifespan of the roller.

Flexographic printing usually uses water based ink, alcohol based ink and UV ink. So flexographic printing blades needs to have good durability and corrosion resistance. We recommend the following doctor blades which can meet the requirements of flexographic printing blades and are suitable for abrasive anilox rollers and the types of ink listed above.
