Roller squeegee before and after example.

[Action1]

Please enlarge the picture below to see the amazing improvements that the Roller Squeegee and Double Stroke Squeegee can achieve.

We are now sending out Roll Ready - Roller Squeegee Kits.
Includes 1 aluminum frame with the Teflon sheet already laminated to the screen and taped off.
Out of the Box and Ready to Roll - $419 - with a 16" roller squeegee. - for all Automatic Machines.

I got a chance to preview the new screen with Teflon panel pre-applied to a screen at the ISS Nashville event last week.

Erik and the crew have taken a great idea and made it better.

With the attachment method they are using that anti stick panel is never coming off the screen.

Thank you Greg - I agree. We have the means to laminate the sheet of Teflon® to the frame much better than can be done in the field. It does appear that everyone would prefer to have us to provide the frame - 'ready to roll'. There's no guess work and it's ready use out of the box.

Thank you Greg for your continued endorsement of The Roller Squeegee. Your opinion really counts!

Post pictures of frame and Teflon sheet please, can this be ordered separately?

I was told about this technique the other day by one of my local supply reps, and was really impressed with the idea.  It's almost like having a heat press on your automatic to use between hits. 

Any way to get this setup running on a Javelin w/ v-squeegees?

We do not have a V-Squeegee compatible roller squeegee. However, I think that Workhorse offers a retrofit kit to allow your machine to use Roller Squeegees - please ask your Workhorse representative. (800)778-8779

Is there a manual-print roller-squeegee?   I could see this working on a manual press having the extra teflon screen and a roller squeegee that can sort of work in your hands manually...  you could do this do any color you want between flashes etc...    I guess the roller could be more simple for a manual does not have to attach to the automatic press components,  but the concept is the same it really does smooth out the ink,  the only thing I would want to see a more objective scientific comparison is with a gradient of color that shows the percentages, to see if this affects the dot-pattern final % at all, perhaps it might gain but when applying to multiple inks it should help them actually mix-in more on press and penetrate the shirt fabric more.      Overall this seems like a great improvement to the technique of screenprinting and especially when you see how roller-squeegees work on actual ink-screens too but that is more experimental as far as the R&D I've seen.   Great stuff Action Engineering you guys are true innovators,  I always love looking at your site and drooling over the things I would buy if I had a big shop... but starting out on my own from the ground up in printing I'm on a budget with a manual, but I look to you guys for all my future expansion with equipment-accessories either manual or automatic,  so keep up the great work you will have a future customer with me for sure.

Thank you sincerely for your positive comments about our company. We have explored the manual roller squeegee options and have not been pleased. Firstly - this technique works only when the ink is very quickly rolled after the flash and at a high pressure.Also -  The kind of pressure that works is on an automatic and couldn't be accomplished by hand. So - we developed a solution for manuals - but it's to pricey for everyone who has commented on it.

I've been using the roller since we started printing over here.. and let me say

AWESOME!!

I wish I could show ya'll pictures but if I post one, i can lose my job so you'll just have to trust me on this.

[DannyGruninger]

Ditto, the roller squeegee really never leaves our presses..... It's pretty much a standard after flash screen we use on 99% of our jobs

Retrofit meaning a chopper setup, or something else?  Just trying to figure out what I'm looking for.  Thanks!

[Action1]

Thank you very much John & Danny. We have had numerous examples sent to us depicting the print quality with and without a Roller Squeegee. There really is a very obvious improvement.
Regarding the retrofit for the v-squeegee - yes it's a chopper setup. I know I had heard previously that it was available.

[hoogie]

Ditto, to the roller...I bought it the same time as our sportsmen 12/10. since day one its never left the press, amazing quality of prints on anything that requires a base an on fleece..lol it brings your prints to a whole new level...also use it as a lint pick up screen on large banger jobs to...so two great things this little product does....
