I have some samples coming in and will try. I really want to get the best setup for whites on the new press going. Sounds like these sgeegee's might be the trick

ZooCity:
Manual printer here but, for what it's worth, I rarely use anything but 70/90/70 and am very happy with the stuff.  A little straight 70 here and there, particularly on the larger, 16" squeegees as it seems to be a bit more forgiving for wide prints.   We have one little 10" guy with 60/90/60 and it can lay the ink down but is a bit too floppy for a push stroke and thick bodied ink.  Got rid of all the 60s when I switched to a push stroke years ago. 

What about a 55/100/55 ?  Or, what I'm getting at is some kind of super soft outer blade with the middle of the samich being really stiff to support the blade throughout the whole print stroke.

We use 70/90/70s.  Happy with that so far.

We switched from the 70/90/70s to a 60/?/60 and it made a HUGE difference on our whites. Sorry i can't remember the middle number off the top of my head ;)
