Favorite M&R Style Squeegees and Floods?

[ZooCity]

I'm thinking about grabbing one of each from Action and M&R and comparing to see what I like.  All looks really similar though, what is preferred on the older style M&Rs? 

Planning on getting a set of the U clamps, set of 16" winged floods, squeegee holders and then and extra couple of holders to try out a dr.J, etc..   I think I'll get the most benefit out of good winged floods with all the wb we run.  I tend to default to M&R if possible for stuff like this, just not sure what else is out there.

Anyways, curious to see what others like or if there is any difference at all.  I have a wide mix of AWT and lord knows what brand of floods, winged floods and squeegees that I use on my cameo and so far prefer the AWT stuff out of the bunch but it's basically all I have experience with.

There is a new squeegee holder that you really should see. There is a video on our web site you should watch. I will be happy to discuss both squeegees and flood bars with you if you would like.

I did see that.  Slick!  Might be overkill for us, but I do love the design.  I can see a benefit in that you stock one squeegee size and can have a wide variety of blades cut to that length on hand and swap them in/out for the particular job.

What's the pricing on the unit to switch the blades?

I prefer the good ole' m&r flood bar as it's design rolls ink into the open image area.. the action wing just pushes ink across the screen.

think about it..

This is one thing, well one of the things that I don't like about the winged flood bars. You have no way to add angle to the flood. I like the original floods set at 3 or so. Gives the flooded ink some downward force. As John said the winged floods just plow the ink across the screen. Don't get me wrong I grab my winged ones first.

Zoo, To save you some time, and money, I think someone already compared the M&R and Action winged flood bars on this forum. Look it up. I am pretty sure they decided on the M&R ones.

throw in some Ink Traps and we got a party going on

$995. Only one box needed regardless of amount of presses. Squeegee holder remains at old price.

I have both the M&R and action winged floodbars...I will tell you in our shop my guys like the M&R's better...they seem to flood better and they clean up easier...

that is from our shop that uses them daily

Ink traps!!!

[tonypep]

I know a lot of people love those traps but in most shops they're on a shelf coated with dust. Vote for wings

[islandtees]

We use all M&R winged flood bars. They clean up much easier than others we tried.

[Homer]

I gotta ask -what are these ink traps you guys are talking about? do they "snap" on the end of a standard flood bar? we have the old style floods but we mainly use the action winged bars simply because I don't have any of the m&r style.

MO.......if you have wings and like them don't bother with the traps. If you're looking for a picture its probably on their site.

[bimmridder]

Tony, if they're not being used in your shop, would you be interested in selling some? There are certain applications I prefer them over winged bars. I do use both. I too prefer M&R over Action, but just my preference. (how's the back?)

ink traps are superior, but if you dont keep them clean, get ready for alot of busted screens.  I own both.
