All of our wooden hand screen printing squeegees are made from high-quality polyurethane blades manufactured in the U.S.A.

Choosing the Best Durometer Screen Printing Squeegee:

Screen printing durometer refers to how hard or flexible the squeegee rubber is. Generally, a softer squeegee rubber leaves a thicker ink deposit, while a harder, higher-durometer squeegee deposits less ink onto your shirt.

• Use a 60-durometer squeegee for thin, water-based, and discharge inks.
• The 70-durometer squeegee is the most popular option and a great "all-around" choice for various inks. If you prefer not to worry about different durometers, choose the 70.
• An 80-durometer squeegee is very stiff and ideal when you need a firm squeegee blade.

Maintenance Tips for Wood Screen Printing Squeegees:

Like any screen printing tool, a little maintenance for your wooden manual screen printing squeegees goes a long way. Always wipe your squeegee clean after printing. If you use screen printing chemicals, such as an ink degradant or press wash, to clean it, ensure you dry the squeegee thoroughly.

Store your wood squeegee in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid excessive heat or cold, as it can affect the rubber squeegee blade.

Over time, the squeegee blade will dull and round, negatively affecting your print quality. When this occurs, sharpen the squeegee blade or replace the entire squeegee.

Note: An additional charge applies when made with telescopic bolts.
