What is the correct squeegee to use?

Determining the correct durometer needed for your job will depend on the mesh count of your screen. McLogan Supply offers 3 color-coded options.

60 Durometer Squeegee - The orange/red blade is a 60 Durometer squeegee blade. It is the softest and most bendable blade out of the 3 blades. The 60 duro squeegee is perfect for laying a thick deposit of ink. This would be useful if you were printing white on a black t-shirt and you couldn’t get it too covered with the harder squeegee.

70 Durometer Squeegee - The yellow color is a 70 durometer squeegee blade, which is a basic/neutral stiffness. The 70 duro squeegee is usually the standard squeegee for most average mesh counts and inks.

80 Durometer Squeegee - The green/blue blades are 80 durometer squeegee blades. This is the stiffest blade which is best for printing onto harder substrates. An 80 duro squeegee is useful for printing CMYK prints that have higher mesh counts.
