Market Definition
A doctor blade is a widely used technique in printers for producing thin films on large area surfaces. In all types of printing applications, such as flexographic printing, rotogravure printing, and offset printing, a doctor blade is a metering blade. The doctor blade's primary function in rotogravure printing is to remove excess ink from the cell walls and image carrier. In gravure printing, the doctor blade, a steel strip, removes ink from the inner surface of the gravure cylinder. Plastic doctor blades are used on occasion, but steel is preferred in gravure applications. A doctor blade serves the same purpose in other printing and coating processes, such as pad and flexo printing.
