How can you by choosing the right doctor blade increase print quality and profitability combined?

The doctor blade is a small but central part of the printing process

A doctor blade is a small but central part of the printing process. As such, it controls the thickness and consistency of the applied ink.

In printing, the doctor blade is used to remove excess ink from the surface of the anilox. This way it leaves only the ink required for printing behind. This ensures that the ink is applied evenly and accurately. This in its turn helps to produce high quality prints.

The doctor blade can be made of a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and rubber. The choice of material depends on the application and the properties of the material being applied.

How can the right doctor blade contribute to increased print quality and profitability combined?

Using a bad or worn-out doctor blade can lead to various problems in printing. Some of the common problems that tell you to change your doctor blade are:

1. Inconsistent printing: A bad doctor blade can cause uneven application of the ink, resulting in inconsistent print quality. This can lead to quality issues and can effect the overall appearance and performance of the final print.
2. Excessive material waste: A bad doctor blade may not be able to properly remove excess ink, and thus leading to wastage of material and increased production costs.
3. Reduced printing speed: A worn-out doctor blade may not be able to remove the ink quickly enough, and therefore leading to slower production speeds and longer production times.
4. Damage to the anilox: A bad doctor blade can cause scratches or other damage to the anilox, which can lead to poor print quality or the need for costly repair or replacements.
5. Increased maintenance and downtime: Using a bad doctor blade can increase the frequency of maintenance and downtime required for the printing equipment. As such a the bad doctor blade may therefore need to replaced more frequently or may cause equipment issues.

How can we meet increasing demands on productivity and sustainability combined with increasing profitability?

We are confident that this is possible if we focus on all the parts in the chain. The high quality Swedish steel, used in PrimeBlade doctor blades for instance, is made from recycled steel. And what’s more, it can be further recycled into new products after end-of-life as a doctor blade.

The packaging industry is facing a transformation, where all parties involved need to participate actively. Therefore, solutions, concepts, and products need to be designed in such a way that they may interact seamlessly with others up or down the value chain.

PrimeBlade doctor blades are designed to create a worry-free production environment, to ensure consistency in printing, avoid excessive material waste, and damage to the anilox. Only this way, you will achieve high quality printing, with increased profitability.

THE FIVE BENEFITS OF DIRECT LASER ENGRAVING OF FLEXO PLATES

The silent Sales Man of the shelf

An attractive packaging or label is a silent sales man. After all, the consumer will make its purchase decisions based upon the packaging or label design, the crisp appearance, and the colors used. Therefore, brand owners are investing a lot of time and effort, making the packaging or label design an integral part of their marketing strategy. Thus, enhance the silent sales man with our support.

How do you achieve that outstanding packaging on the shelf?

Flexo printing is a versatile printing technology within flexible packaging, corrugated packaging, and label printing. The flexo plate transfers the design to the substrate. Direct laser engraving of flexo plates is, among other technologies, an advanced technology to translate a digital design to the flexo plate.

What are the benefits of direct laser engraving of flexo plates?

Direct laser engraving of flexo plates has several benefits, including:

1. Improved print quality: Direct Laser Engraving can produce very fine details and accurate images on the flexo plates. These fine details translates to improved print quality. The precise laser beam can create a higher resolution of dots, which results in better color and tone reproduction
2. Cost effective: This technology eliminates the need for film, chemicals, and other consumables. These essentials can be expensive. Direct Laser Engraving also allows for faster plate-making, reducing labor costs.
3. Environmentally friendly: Unlike traditional plate-making processes, Direct Laser Engraving does not use any harmful chemicals or generate waste. This means that it is an environmentally friendly option for printing companies looking to reduce their environmental impact.
4. Versatility: Direct Laser Engraving is suitable for a wide range of printing applications, including labels, packaging, and cartons. The solution can be used with various materials, including polymer, rubber, and other flexible materials.
5. Consistency: Laser engraving ensures that the plate’s depth and image quality are consistent across the entire plate. This consistency means that print runs are more predictable and less prone to errors, resulting in less waste and more efficient printing.

What are the main benefits of direct laser engraving summarized?

Overall, direct laser engraving of flexo plates offers several advantages over traditional plate-making processes, including improved print quality, cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, versatility, and consistency.

CAN A COLOR DISPENSING SOLUTION CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVED PRINT QUALITY AND COST EFFICIENCY COMBINED?

Yes, a color dispensing solution can contribute to both improved print quality and cost efficiency when used properly.

Today, brand owners demand tight standards of repeatable quality, deliveries of shorter runs on a just-in-time basis and transparency in the supply chain. Good ink management, then, is essential for a “preferred supplier” status. This requires for smart ink dispensing systems.

Here are some ways a color dispensing solution can help achieve these goals.

1. Consistent color: with an ink dispenser, the ink is always dispensed in the same precise amount. This will lead to consistent color on each print run. Therefore, this consistency improves the quality of the final product.
2. Reduced waste: the ink is measured and dispensed precisely, which reduces ink waste. Thus the reduction in waste leads to cost savings for the printing company.
3. Increased productivity: by reducing the time it takes to measure and dispense ink, an ink dispenser can help as well increase the productivity of a printing company. Therefore, the printing operation improves efficiency and can lead to additional cost savings
4. Customization: a ink dispenser solution can be customized to fit the specific needs of a printing company, which improves efficiency and can lead to additional savings
5. Accuracy: the precise measurements provided by a color dispensing solution can help reduce errors. This in its turn can lead to additional cost savings

In conclusion, a color dispensing solution can contribute to both improved print quality and cost efficiency when used properly. By providing consistent color, reducing waste, increasing productivity, offering customization, and providing accuracy, an ink dispenser can help printing companies achieve their goals and thus also saving money.
