Flat Scratch Resistant Solvent Ink Scraper Screen Printing Squeegee Strip

1. Screen Printing Squeegee introduction

Squeegee is a strip used in the screen printing process and generally becomes a squeegee. Most of them are made of PU materials. Depending on the characteristics of the screen printing substrate, the accuracy of the printed pattern, and the printing method, it is possible to select the squeegee of different hardness and cross-sectional shape.

2. Selection of hardness and cross-sectional shape of the Squeegee rubber

Hardness selection

45°---65° (soft squeegee, suitable for printing uneven surface products)

65°---80° (comprehensive performance, suitable for all kinds of printed matter)

75°---95° (wear resistance, good solvent resistance, suitable for printing fine patterns)

Section shape selection

Flat mouth scraping glue: common shape, with a certain adaptability, can withstand the highest pressure.

Sharp squeegee: It has good flexibility, compliance, and reduced pressure. It is suitable for printing on irregular surfaces and irregular shape substrates.

3. How to use Screen Printing Squeegee

When using, try to avoid excessive pressure on the stencil. This will cause the ink layer to be extremely thick, difficult to control, and excessively wear the stencil. Therefore, the correct way is to have both ends of the squeegee and the edge of the screen. Proper distance, then print with appropriate pressure. Do not apply pressure when the squeegee is placed in the handle or use too thick a size to force it in. The squeegee should be allowed to rest regularly instead of continuously.
