Squeegee Angles

[3Deep]

Thanks for all the greatfeedback on this topic...Sonny I use the DB blades and yes they work great for my white inks, glitterinks and shimmers.  The deep angle I using now 20 to 30 seems to work for what I was doing, I'll just have to test more as the year moves on.  What I was very impressed with was printing the halftones wet on wet and not getting dot gain and mudded up.

no angle double bevel.

Is no angle the same as 90?  (not too up on the DB terminology)


I usually leave angles around 15 degrees unless something isn't working right with the standard profile, or I'm using a CF.

which brings a good point, if no angle is upright, than 20-30 degrees I am referring to is from the upright position or 60-70 from horizontal. Sort of like this /

HA!   That depends on what angle you are looking at it from. LOL.  A 90 degree could be considered a 0 degree or no angle, but could also be loosely called a vertical angle.

I think when someone refers to "no angles" it might mean as in random dots.

I could certainly see why you would--although no angle could mean circular...     (or *all* angles?)

I guess I should have phrased it like this--  if you cut 45 degree bevels off each edge of a blade, is that the DB no angle blade being discussed?  I keep thinking I need to try some out, but haven't gotten around to it.

which brings another good point (damn a prickly day today . . .), there are different angles on the DB blades. Some are at 30 deg and some are at 45. We need the angles to be able to compare them!
