I have made a Ton of money with my V blade and have had absolutley no problems since day one. It is the only auto I have worked so I really cannot compare but I saved about $6000 dollars on the purchase compared to M&R and like I said made lots of money and plan on making much more. The flashback is one of the biggest +'s it rocks and I can print on both the heads and flash.. Hey I don't like chocolate ice cream and you do... ;)

One thing I'd like to mention that I think is very important with using a floating squeegee system like the V, I think proper press setup is paramount.  The closer all your printheads and pallets are in parallel with each other, the less problems you're going to have with the V squeegee.  I don't see a whole lot of people who run them talk about press parallelism but with the floating squeegee, it can only do so much as far as pressure goes from side to side and if your pallets are out of whack, you'll have to really crank the pressure down to clear on the lower side of the pallet.  You'll likely get different ink deposits with un-parallel pallets as well.  I really believe that those who have the most problems with the V-style system are the one's with un-parallel presses.

Alan you are correct and one more thing I have learned over the years is you must have a Sharp squeegee on the hight end work (90 dur.)... just shears better.

I think the first problem was my corners. I just put the squeege blade in the V and didn't round the corners. Have a job to print tommorow. Will be the first with the round corners.

When you rounded them make sure nip a little on the edge where in contacts the emulsion. It will help from breaking it down right there. What durometers are you using? We found the best results using the triple duro squeegees.

I just buy a roll and cut it with a Chop Saw with a fine blade works well but I do not use the triple blade just 70 -90
