Money Down The Drain-Ink Metering Systems & Savings, 2003 Corrugated Container Conference
There are several different metering systems available to corrugated printers today. In recent years reverse angle
doctor blade metering systems have generally been accepted as the preferred method of metering anilox rolls for
flexographic printing of corrugated boxes. While the industry is aware that print quality improvements and reduced
parts/labor costs are benefits of changing to doctor blade metering systems, this presentation investigates the
potential savings of ink when using single reverse angle doctor blade metering systems.
