Polygraphica's Lithodoc PLUS doctor blades are made from high purity refined carbon steel. Due to a novel shaping process of the lamella, there are no longitudinal grinding scratches or shed marks. The parallel zone of the lamella ends in a smooth taper called the dynamic zone which reduces vibrations and fatigue.
- increased doctor blade life
- contact area remains constant throughout life of the doctor blade
- no change in tonal values through blade wear
- easy colour matching
- minimal doctor blade pressure extends cylinder life
- less time required to run in the press
- less wasted substrate
- less down time caused through blade changes
- no doctor blade grinding equipment required
- constant conditions for proofing
