Question 1

How do I choose between SiC, Standard Steel, SUS, or QROWT types?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your ink type and cylinder material. SiC types suit high-viscosity and water-based inks, SUS offers higher corrosion resistance, and QROWT is built for white and pearl inks. Our team helps match the type to your production line.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Lamella, Bevel and other edge shapes?

Accepted Answer

The edge shape affects how the blade presses against the cylinder. Lamella single and double give different flexibility under wiping pressure, while Bevel gives a sharper contact angle. The right choice reduces cylinder wear.

Question 3

Can you produce custom shapes or non-standard sizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle small-lot production in standard catalogue sizes or with custom shapes and materials for your specific line.

Question 4

Are samples available before placing a full order?

Accepted Answer

This can be arranged based on the blade type and your production volume. Contact our team via WhatsApp to arrange an evaluation sample.

Question 5

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Accepted Answer

Minimum order and lead time depend on the blade type, size, and volume. Our team provides an estimate once we understand your specific requirements.

Question 6

Do you supply blade holders and chamber parts, or only the blades?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the blades themselves, the Tokyo Seisakusho group also supplies gravure printing parts such as ink fountain rollers, blade holders, and cylinder bearing units. Ask our team which parts apply to your line.

Question 7

What thicknesses and widths are available?

Accepted Answer

Thickness runs from 0.15 to 0.25 mm and width from 10 to 98 mm, depending on the type: the SiC types hold to 40-60 mm with slitting down to 10 mm, while DuroBlade® covers the widest width in the line. SiC G is configured per order rather than built to a fixed size. Each product's own page carries a spec table with the exact numbers for that type.

Question 8

Will TS blades fit the press we already run?

Accepted Answer

Send us your cylinder width, holder type, and the dimensions of the blade currently on your line. Our team then identifies the matching TS type for you.

Question 9

What do you need from us to quote a custom blade?

Accepted Answer

Send us your press or cylinder details, the blade dimensions, the ink type, and a sample or drawing of what's currently running. That's enough for our team to prepare a custom quote.

Question 10

Can you match a blade we currently buy from another supplier?

Accepted Answer

Our production system is built for high-mix, small-lot and custom orders, so matching an existing blade is often possible. Send us its dimensions and a sample, and our team will confirm whether we can reproduce it.

Question 11

Our print has streaking or ghosting — can you help work out why?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is exactly what our on-site technical support is for — our team visits your production line to look at the issue directly rather than diagnosing it over the phone.

Question 12

How should blades be stored and handled before they go on the press?

Accepted Answer

Keep blades in their original packaging in a dry area, and handle the edge carefully since it's the working surface. If your storage conditions are unusual, check with our team.
