RoundEdge finish is our specialty
After 40 years on the market, the unique combination of Strip-Blade Doctoring System and HiQ Doctor Blades with round edge profile, are today a well proven favourite among flexo- and gravure printers worldwide.The best micro wipe in gravure printing will most likely be achieved by a 10 mm wide HIQ doctor blade, in combination with a 8,0 - 9,0 mm wide back up blade, Doctor blade thicknesses 0,065 - 0,152 mm. 

Thinner HIQ doctor blades with round edge are also very cost-efficient in flexo printing, when using the Low pressure doctoring principle where the chamber doctor blade is running at minimum of pressure against the screen roller.
