Graphic Squeegee - 8 Inch, 70 Durometer

This squeegee features a 70 Durometer neoprene blade. This hardness offers a good balance of flexibility and resistance for precise ink application.

This squeegee is suitable for printing on fabric, paper, cardboard, wood, and other flat surfaces. It can also be used for cleaning windows and glass.

After each use, clean the neoprene blade with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh solvents. Allow it to air dry completely.

The 8-inch width is ideal for small to medium-sized designs. For larger designs, Speedball offers squeegees in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch sizes.

The square edges are designed to push more ink through the screen, which can result in better coverage and help reduce binding, especially on certain materials.

Yes, its design also makes it effective for cleaning water from windows, glass, and bathrooms, providing a streak-free finish.

The handle is made of sturdy wood, providing a comfortable grip for better control during printing.

Ensure the squeegee blade is clean and free of dried ink. Check that the blade is held at a consistent angle (around 45 degrees) during the print stroke. Verify the ink is properly mixed and has a suitable viscosity for screen printing.

This can occur with certain fabric printing. Try adjusting the angle of the squeegee or applying slightly less pressure. Ensure the screen is properly tensioned and the squeegee is not digging into the mesh.

Inspect the blade for nicks or tears. If damaged, the blade may need replacement. Store the squeegee properly to prevent warping; avoid storing with pressure on the blade.

Ensure the extra thickness of the rubber blade is utilized by loading sufficient ink onto the screen. Clean the blade thoroughly before use to allow optimal ink hold.
