SCC Releases Gapping Shims for Color Carts

Static Control Components has released four new sets of shims that precisely position the doctor blade in remanufactured color cartridges used in dozens of HP and Canon printers.

The shims, sold in 100-count packs, replace gapping tools that can be cumbersome to use and inconsistent. They often lead to print defects. SCC’s color doctor blade gapping shims attach to the cartridge so remanufacturers only have to screw the doctor blade in place for consistent positioning 100 percent of the time.

The doctor blade in color cartridges is one of the most important components in the color imaging process, yet one that is most prone to failure. Setting the gap is critical to achieving the highest quality color prints.
