So is the solution to track down the 9mm rubber? We'll need to do this soon but still have standard/American manual and auto squeegees as well. Will the Euro width fit in the American stuff without slipping?I'm hearing "it's near impossible to stuff the US blade into the Euro holders" from users and "it's no big deal" from sellers.
We run all smiling jacks and we pried them a bit and made them fit.

The R3 holders take a 50x9mm blade. Tracking down 9mm blade is hard if you want specific blade but there appears to be some Serilor available stateside in 75/90/75 and 65/90/65. I'm trying to get us on the same or similar blade we've been running here, the 55/90/55, but Fimor won't bring it in from Europe from the sound of it. Of note is that there is a tolerance with squeegee blade width and the "US" stuff actually varies from 9.1-9.5mm wide, give/take. They were kind enough to offer to put the calipers on their stock and find the thinnest batch they have so we could get at least closer to something that can drop in the holders. The reason I'm looking so hard into this is twofold: First, my crew is used to being able to swap blade quickly and accurately with our kwik clamp which will be sorely missed. Second, I really want to stay with the soft edge triple blade we've been using, especially moving from rubber coated platens to bare metal. Ryan are you saying that new R3 holders have been revised for US use and are now shipping at 9.5mm or are they still shipping at 9mm?
