Screen Printing Squeegees

The screen printing squeegee is one of the most important tools in the printing process, controlling how ink is transferred through the mesh onto the substrate. Choosing the proper blade hardness (durometer), edge profile, and handle style helps produce consistent ink deposits, sharp image detail, and high-quality prints.

Atlas Screen Supply offers professional screen printing squeegees with wood and aluminum handles, replacement squeegee blades, pre-cut blade lengths, and full rolls of squeegee rubber in multiple durometers for manual and automatic screen printing applications.

                                                Learn More About Screen Printing Squeegees

                                                What Does a Screen Printing Squeegee Do?

                                                A screen printing squeegee forces ink through the open areas of the screen mesh and onto the substrate. The amount of ink deposited is influenced by several factors including blade hardness, edge profile, squeegee angle, pressure, mesh count, stencil thickness, and the type of ink being printed.

                                                Selecting the proper squeegee helps improve print quality, reduce ink buildup, and create more consistent production results.

                                                Choosing the Right Squeegee Durometer

                                                Durometer measures the hardness of a squeegee blade. Softer blades flex more and deposit more ink, while harder blades provide greater control and finer image detail. The ideal durometer depends on the artwork, mesh count, ink system, substrate, and printing equipment.

                                                • 60 Durometer: A soft blade that produces a heavier ink deposit. Often used for specialty inks, athletic numbers, puff inks, textured garments, and applications requiring greater ink coverage.
                                                • 70 Durometer: The most common general-purpose blade for textile screen printing. It provides an excellent balance of ink deposit, durability, and print quality for everyday production.
                                                • 80 Durometer: A firmer blade that offers increased control and cleaner image detail. Frequently used with higher mesh counts, finer artwork, and halftone printing where reduced ink deposit is preferred.
                                                • 90 Durometer: The hardest commonly available blade. It is designed for extremely fine detail, very high mesh counts, and applications requiring maximum print definition. While commonly used with graphic printing inks, many textile printers also choose 90 durometer when printing exceptionally fine detail.
                                                • Triple Durometer: Triple-durometer blades feature a hard center with softer outer layers to improve blade stability while extending blade life. Although very popular on automatic presses, many printers continue to use single-durometer blades depending on the application and personal printing preferences.

                                                Wood vs. Aluminum Handle Squeegees

                                                Wood handle squeegees are an economical choice and remain popular for manual screen printing. Aluminum handle squeegees offer increased rigidity, consistent blade support, and make replacing worn blades quick and easy, making them ideal for higher-volume production.

                                                Manual vs. Automatic Screen Printing

                                                Manual presses typically use handheld wood or aluminum handle squeegees selected to match the artwork, mesh count, and ink system.

                                                Automatic presses use aluminum squeegee holders designed specifically for the make and model of the press. Printers may choose either single-durometer or triple-durometer blades depending on the application, desired ink deposit, print detail, and personal preference.

                                                Replacement Blades and Squeegee Rubber Rolls

                                                Atlas Screen Supply offers complete squeegees, replacement squeegee blades in pre-cut lengths, and full rolls of squeegee rubber. Replacement blades are available in multiple durometers, making it easy to rebuild existing aluminum holders while selecting the blade hardness best suited for each printing application.

                                                Selecting the Right Screen Printing Squeegee

                                                The ideal screen printing squeegee depends on several factors including mesh count, stencil thickness, ink type, artwork detail, substrate, and printing equipment. As mesh count increases, many printers choose harder blades such as 80 or 90 durometer to produce finer detail and more controlled ink deposits.

                                                Matching the proper squeegee with the correct screen mesh and ink system helps produce cleaner prints, consistent ink transfer, and longer blade life whether printing on a manual or automatic press.
