Ceramic-Coated Doctor Blades
- Short Lamella Blade Edge
- Long Lamella Blade Edge
Our ceramic coated doctor blades combine the durability of carbon steel with the wear resistance of a ceramic coating, providing enhanced longevity for applications involving abrasive inks and extended print runs. The ceramic layer reinforces the blade edge, significantly reducing wear and extending its service life compared to standard carbon steel blades.
The ceramic-coated doctor blades are available in two series: C1000 and C2000, produced using high-quality European carbon steel, which already offers strong wear resistance. The addition of a ceramic coating and precision-polished edge enhances longevity, providing up to 10 times the durability of standard carbon steel blades. The C2000 doctor blades, with their dual-layer ceramic coating, reaches a lifespan of over 100,000 meters, ensuring stable ink metering and improved color consistency. These properties enable ceramic-coated doctor blades to maintain print quality over long production cycles, ensuring effectiveness in high-volume and specialty printing applications.
The ceramic coating enhances wear resistance, extending the blade's lifespan to over 100,000 meters. With added corrosion resistance, these blades help reduce color inconsistencies, ink drag, and streaking, ensuring sharp and precise prints even in demanding applications.
These blades are commonly used in gravure and flexographic printing, excelling in spot color, full coverage, and high-gloss printing. The ceramic layer helps compensate for the wear limitations of other blade types, maintaining consistent performance over long production runs.
For applications requiring precise ink metering, extended durability, and reduced maintenance, the C2000 ceramic-coated doctor blade is an ideal choice. The dual-layer ceramic coating improves performance in spot color printing, full coverage designs, fine line printing, QR code printing, and leather applications. This blade performs well with corrosive inks, high-viscosity formulations, and metallic particle-based inks, ensuring long-lasting use while maintaining print quality.
