Single-Edge Durometer

Squared edged 90 deg blade used for a wide range of printing applications where a thin ink deposit is required.
This blade will print on many different substrates, a soft blade for porous surfaces a harder blade for smoother surfaces.
Available in Shore A Hardness:

60/65 soft, 70/75 medium, 80/85 hard.

 

Dual-Edge Durometer

A single soft printing edge with hard backing. Eliminates blade roll over. Helps maintain blade angle for excellent ink shear.
Available in Shore A Hardness:

60/90 & 70/90 &75/90.

Triple-Edge Durometer

 

Triple hardness blade gives the printer the responsiveness of a soft to medium hard blade without the undesired flexing created by increased secondary force squeegee pressure. Excellent for printing on high mesh counts with high tension.
Available in Shore A Hardness: 60/90/60 & 65/90/65 & 70/90/70 & 75/90/75.

HOW TO CHOSE A SQUEEGEE

SURFACE:If the item you have to print has an rough, non-planar surface, the most suitable squeegee durometer is between 60 and 70 sh.If the surface is smooth, a harder durometer squeegee, between 80 and 90, should be used.

MESH:If a high mesh count (mesh very thin) is being used, you need a harder squeegee (80 or 90 sh); if you are printing with glitter ink (which has large flakes of shiny, plastic material that have to pass through the mesh) you should use a softer squeegee.

INKS:The more aggressive inks, such as UV inks, cause more damage to the squeegee than a standard water based ink. The harder the material, the more solvent resistant the blade. Therefore, to eliminate swelling and chemical breakdown, use a harder durometer squeegee

INK DEPOSIT:A soft squeegee will deposit a thicker layer of ink than a harder squeegee.

AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL: hard durometer squeegees are normally used on high speed automatic machines (high degree of abrasion that occurs during a production run). Softer durometers squeegees are typically used for low-pressure low speed manual and semi-automatic presses.
