MDC doctor blades 
for gravure printing

The correct choice for the perfect print result

In gravure printing, the printing ink is transferred from recessed ink cavities on the print cylinder onto the print media. The doctor blade plays a major role when wiping off any excess ink. The collaboration between the individual parameters, such as ink, substrate, viscosity, etc., requires an optimized doctor blade in order to achieve the desired print quality. Daetwyler SwissTec offers an all-encompassing portfolio of MDC doctor blades for gravure printing.
