Industrial screen printing and special applications.

Advantages of our squeegees

Sharper print results

Thanks to precise control of the amount of ink transferred, our squeegees guarantee clean, uniform prints with superior definition, avoiding smudges and excess ink.

Less wear on the cylinder or anilox

The design and quality of our doctor blades reduce friction and unnecessary contact, extending the service life of the cylinder or anilox and thus protecting one of the most important investments in the printing process.

Higher printing productivity

By offering more efficient and longer-lasting cleaning, the need for downtime to replace the blade or clean the system is minimized, optimizing machine time and reducing operating costs.

Specialized technical advice

Our team of flexographic and rotogravure experts supports customers before, during, and after their purchase, ensuring they choose the most suitable doctor blade for each application and achieve maximum production performance.

Frequently asked questions about squeegees for printing

What is the difference between a flexographic squeegee and a screen printing squeegee?

The flexographic doctor blade is designed to remove excess ink in cylinder or anilox printing, while the screen printing squeegee is used to move ink through a mesh onto the substrate. Both share the same cleaning principle, but with adaptations depending on the type of printing.

It depends on the material, the type of ink, and the length of use. In general, it is recommended to replace it when a loss of sharpness in the print or visible wear on the edge is detected.

We work with high-quality steels and composites, selected for their wear resistance and ability to maintain constant straightness throughout their service life.
