Your Trusted Doctor Blade Manufacturer

Since 1967, Fuji Shoko has been developing fine quality doctor blades rooted in craftsmanship and cutting-edge manufacturing technology.

We’re committed to three essential elements as a world-class doctor blade manufacturer to deliver uncompromising quality: premium materials, precision blade engineering and advanced coating technology.

Made with Premium Materials

As pure and refined as traditional Katana steels

Using high-quality steel for doctor blades is essential for achieving precision, durability, and consistent performance in demanding printing and coating applications. At Fuji Shoko, we are dedicated to using only steel that meets the highest standards of straightness and flatness to ensure optimal blade performance. Backed by over 40 years of research and development, our proprietary metal processing techniques significantly reduce impurities, producing a cleaner, more stable material. This refined process also promotes the formation of nano-structures within the steel, which enhances uniform blade wear and extends durability over time. As a result, our doctor blades offer superior resistance to wear, abrasion, and corrosion—leading to longer service life, fewer replacements, and reduced maintenance costs.

Designed with Sharpness and High-Precision

Finely sharpened with high precision and toughness

Our proprietary surface grinding methods have been specifically developed to deliver exceptionally high-precision blade edges and accurately shaped profiles, making them ideal for demanding printing applications. Through the application of advanced, high-precision processing technology, we are able to guarantee not only a consistently smooth and reliable initial printing performance but also long-lasting blade functionality that meets or exceeds operational expectations over time. Each doctor blade edge is meticulously treated with a combination of expert craftsmanship and technical rigor, undergoing multiple stages of thorough inspection and quality control to uphold the strictest standards of excellence. For clients seeking more economical solutions without sacrificing performance, we also provide cost-effective double-edge blade options. Additionally, we offer customized edge-angle processing services, enabling precise tailoring of blade specifications to meet your exact needs.

Durable Ceramic Coating Technology

Advanced ceramic technology reinforces quality and durability

Our advanced coating technologies enhance wear and tear resistance, reducing the frequency of blade replacements and improving overall operational efficiency as well as reducing cost. Applying newly developed surface treatments significantly enhance their performance, longevity, and consistency in high-speed, high-precision printing and coating environments, while minimizing common doctoring issues such as streaks, arrow marks, feathering, and blurring. Coated blades also experience less edge wear, helping to reduce burrs and maintain high print quality. Additionally, our coatings provide anti-rust protection and are fully compatible with water-based printing inks.
