Ink Scraping Expert

The ink scraper, used in printing presses to remove excess ink from the surface of rollers, exists in both metallic and non-metallic forms. Its crucial role lies in removing ink from non-image areas during each printing cycle. In offset printing, this control is integral to the complex ink transfer process involving ink, plate, and paper. In gravure printing, it constitutes a mechanical operation, relatively straightforward yet possessing distinct characteristics. Ink scrapers must exhibit durability and efficiency to ensure high-quality printing and meet the enduring and high-speed demands of modern gravure printing.
