Consistent print quality begins with components that meet precise performance standards. Our Quality Assurance & Performance Testing service ensures that every doctor blade delivered to your operation is thoroughly inspected, tested, and validated for reliable performance on the press. By controlling quality at every stage, we eliminate variability and help printers achieve predictable, repeatable results.

Doctor blades operate under constant pressure and friction, making dimensional accuracy and edge consistency critical. Even small deviations in blade thickness, edge profile, or surface finish can lead to ink streaking, uneven coverage, accelerated wear, and press instability. Without proper testing, these issues often appear only after production has already been affected.

Our quality assurance process verifies that each blade meets defined specifications before it reaches your press. Performance testing further confirms that the blade will deliver stable ink metering, controlled wear, and compatibility with your application—reducing trial-and-error and on-press adjustments.

Simple Steps to Process

Our quality assurance and performance testing process ensures that every doctor blade meets strict dimensional, material, and performance standards. Through detailed inspection and controlled testing, we verify blade consistency, edge accuracy, and application compatibility before delivery, ensuring press-ready performance from the first run.

Customer Benefits​

Quality assurance and performance testing remove uncertainty from doctor blade performance. By receiving blades that are fully inspected and validated, printers experience stable ink metering, reduced startup adjustments, and consistent print quality across production runs. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and protects critical press components.

• Consistent and predictable blade performance
• Reduced press adjustments and startup waste
• Improved print quality and ink control
• Lower risk of premature blade or anilox wear
• Greater confidence in production reliability

By validating blade performance before it reaches the press, quality assurance becomes a safeguard for production efficiency. Performance-tested blades support long-term reliability, reduced waste, and improved cost control—making quality assurance a critical part of modern printing operations.
