Printing Squeegee

The printing ink scraper removes excess ink from the surface of the printing plate using a metal blade, ensuring that ink is retained only in the graphic area. It is used to control the thickness and clarity of the printed ink layer and is suitable for ink volume adjustment in printing processes such as offset printing and gravure printing.
Selection
Select the hardness of the doctor blade based on the surface characteristics of the printing substrate, and determine the angle of the doctor blade according to the viscosity of the ink. Adjust the pressure of the doctor blade to match the printing speed, and choose stainless steel or plastic blades depending on the type of printing plate. Regularly inspect the wear of the blade edge and replace it promptly.
