Where do you get your squeegee blade?
IntegrityShirts:
Saati sells direct. That's where I got my V blades and a roll of triple duro in the past. Really good stuff and not expensive if I remember correctly.

Binkspot:
That red, white, blue stuff is awesome
Frog:
That Saati page illustrates something that came to mind with the last time I bought some.
There are two types, and two price ranges accordingly.
The economy stuff is molded while the premium is cut. Actual real world difference will have to be covered by someone who does a lot more than I do.
I bought the cheaper one from either Serilor or Saati direct, I can't remember, but it doesn't seem to correspond to any current listings from either. For the sake of playing with my phone, I've attached a pic for anyone interested in viewing squeegee rubber from ten years ago that's probably not sold anymore. LOL! Perhaps someone knows what the numbers (other than size and hardness) mean
Oh, and especially for Tony P, Serilor still lists (and apparently) sells the Blade Runner

I think it's the other way around, molded is the more expensive type while cut edge is cheaper. If I remember correctly, molded edge resists aggressive graphic inks better than cut edge. For our textile purposes, either will work fine, but lean toward cut for cost savings.
Saati V-squeegee is molded, obviously, and much more expensive. I know I didn't buy a whole "roll" of it because of cost.

You're probably right, as I couldn't find any listings for my numbers to figure it out for myself.
