So, with replacing the "rubber" gaining in popularity, and getting more and more nods, who's got the deals?

Generally speaking the price is inconsequential, so we buy from whoever has what we want in stock.

Now when we were running just MHM's, they use metric squeegee (yep) that you literally can't buy in
the US, so we had to import rolls from China, minimum order of 10 rolls or something per size/durometer.
That was comparatively cheap, and near as I could tell, of decent enough quality to not notice a difference.

Yep Frog they answered my question, so I will answer yours, I buy my blades from Miami Screen Supply best price on all blade types 60, 70, 80 60/90/60, 70/90/70 etc in 12ft rolls

To be clear..... the "rubber" is a type of polyurethane (as far I as I know) The earliest squeegee blades were wooden. After Edison and others developed rubber technology, these became more common, although quite prone to develop problems due to harsh inks and chemicals, among  other things. It was not uncommon for a flat bed printer to replace the blade after each run to ensure consistency.
There is your useless information for the day.
