      What is the difference between a flexographic doctor blade and a screen-printing squeegee? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      The flexographic doctor blade is designed to remove excess ink in cylinder or anilox printing, while the screen-printing squeegee pushes ink through a mesh onto the substrate. They are different tools designed for different printing processes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

      When should I replace a doctor blade? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      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. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
