As a part of our employee spotlight series, this week, we'd like to give a special shoutout to Tim Allen! 👏

Tim’s journey with Provident goes back to the very beginning. Starting on the ground floor of a company founded by his brother more than 30 years ago, he built a career centered around supporting pressrooms and advancing the industry.

Today, as Director of Sales, Tim continues that mission, with a strong focus on helping customers better understand and optimize doctor blade chamber management.

Catch Tim next week at Infoflex alongside Sam Benson, Keith Wisnefske, and Agata Bacia. We'll be at Booth 311 ready to connect!

Seeing inconsistencies on press that keep coming back? Back doctoring could be the issue.

Watch for these warning signs:
⚠️ Hazy bands or streaking across prints
⚠️ Ink collecting behind the blade
⚠️ Fluctuating color density
⚠️ Increased misting
⚠️ Constant blade cleaning

If the problem disappears after cleaning but quickly returns, it’s time to get a pressroom specialist in for a consultation. Contact our team today for on-site troubleshooting: https://providentblades.com/contact-us/
