Metal BladesIn printing applications, abrasive inks can wreak havoc on the metal blades that your equipment needs to function. Allison Systems strives to solve this problem by offering a product with exceptional durability, specially created to last as long as possible by employing innovative design. Offering a number of advantages over traditional blades, our Gold (QR) option is available with several bevel options and in thicknesses of:

  • 0.006”
  • 0.008”
  • 0.010”
  • 0.012”

Excellent at enduring abrasive inks, QR blades also serve to reduce scoring issues. As they wear down, they produce smaller particles than other materials – particles that easily flush away from the blade instead of sticking between it and the cylinder. That means less frustration for your team and better results when you print, especially over time. It also translates to less waste from unusable materials.

Value isn’t the QR blade’s only advantage, however. It’s also versatile. Available for use with gravure and flexo doctoring, it also supports containment applications with both chrome and ceramic rolls. With expansive uses and a long lifespan, this product stands out as an excellent choice when you want premium quality and the freedom to make the most of your blades.
