Time to buy squeegees but where and why?

What do you guys think of the purple squeegee blade from ergo force handles on ebay

I think it's just a 64 duro blade.  Not a bad idea but how great would the difference really be between a 70 and 64 ?  I believe the durometer may be off up to 2-3duro as a natural variance from manufacturing.  But who knows, could be a great blade.

They are nice! We use them a bit.

I bought some rolls of GoldupUSA, they are, um, not bad, but you get what you pay for. Kind of one of those things that they were cheep enough that once they go dull, you just toss 'em. For us it was more interesting/better deal because they are a 9mm width, which we need.

Actually a pretty big difference.  We used them a lot when we were still manual.  Lays down a good bit of ink.

Hey thanks everyone for the discussion and info!

those purple blades are nice quality, but they are reeeeaaaallly soft compared to printing with something like a triple duro.  Lots of flex.  They work well in the ergo handles though for waterbased if you're pull stroking.  Soft enough to flex, but because of the shape of the handle, it makes the blade flex closer to the mesh.  Kind of creates a sharper/tighter curve than you would get with a harder blade or a wooden handle.
