Probably wouldn't notice much of a difference, maybe under a loupe or a thickness gauge, but not by eye or touch.

Pierre, how does the triple 55 compare to the single 60?  Does the triple put down more than the single?

much, much more.

It's worth a shot I think on the 55's then, we dig the 60/90/60's big time.  Having a variety of squeegees around sometimes is just what the doc ordered.

Haven't had much luck with single 60's for plastisol though, what are you using yours for?  We use ours sometimes on large coverage WB, but still tend to prefer the 60/90/60's.

Multicraft did not have 55/90/55 so I went with the 60/90/60 and ... WOW! I am amazed at how nice it lays down the ink. Just like you said Pierre, 1 stroke with 60/90/60 tri duro = 2 strokes with 80 duro.

Thanks again for this time saving tip Pierre
