Once again TSB members are the very first to see the results of our Latest Efforts. Most recently, our attention has been focused on improving the design of the double Stroke Squeegee. The new Double Strokes are now being manufactured and will be available in 5-7 weeks. If you would like to place an advanced order for this new design than we are pleased to Offer your first one for 50% OFF.
The improvements to The Double Stroke Squeegee V2 are:
Perfect angular agreement between the two blades.
Very clean/ sleek lines making it very cleanup friendly.
Very easy blade change over.
Rubber as close together as can be to reduce impact on stroke length.
Double Stroke Squeegees eliminate the need for having to stroke your screen twice and give you more penetration through the screen and substrate. They increase productivity dramatically on those jobs which presently require that you double stroke your image.
With Water Based Inks and discharge inks the objective is to effect maximum penetration without bleeding through the garment.
Fibrillation is virtually eliminated 100% on every job. Fibrillation is he unwanted effect of shirt fibers sticking through the image.
There are other benefits also. Less squeegee pressure is now required resulting in a multitude of advantages. This means reduced mesh wear and machine wear, faster strokes and overall enhanced productivity and machine performance.
Our Double Stroke Squeegees comes with 70 Duro Rubber installed.
The effect of using the second squeegee blade behind the first results in an increase of penetration into the fabric.
Especially useful for pushing plastisol through small mesh openings
Most commonly 16" ( 40cm ) but other sizes are available.
Double Stroke Squeegee V1 has been shipped around the world to much acclaim. The largest shops in the world employ the use of these special squeegees on many of their machines.

I thought i was the only doublestroke squeegee in the industry just kidding
Can you post a video of the new doublestroke squeegee in ACTION
-
I hope this is better than the first design. We bought one from you and its terrible on the auto. It sits on a shelf collecting dust.
-
Yea I would think clean up would be a drag. Maybe just as a white squeegee would be good though.

Wow - had we heard this previously we would have given you a full credit or refund. We never want things sitting around on the shelf. We will replace it with a new one when they re ready. A vast majority of the feedback we received on the DSSQ was very positive.

I'll make you an offer - we send you a DSSQ at no charge and you make a video. Call me Monday and we'll make the arrangements if you're interested.

I'll take you up in that offer, Action! We'll post the video on our FB page, the other message boards, and post a photo on our Instagram page.

8) I will put on my referee hat and point out that Doublestroke has the right of first refusal on this offer! 8)
Of course, Action Erik is the ultimate referee. ;D

Agreed, Frog, just putting my name on the backup list.

Dont get me wrong, I have some of your other products and they work fine.
This double was not liked by the guys on the auto. We thought the idea was good, but it didnt work the way we wanted it.
Your right we should have said something sooner but we are so busy that we just dont find the time to complain.
Were willing to try the new version out if you want to send one to us.

Sometimes, even when it's not a full-out complaint, feedback is still welcome(and maybe even expected) by most conscientious manufacturers.
I was once meeting with a client. there he was sitting across from me, in a shirt I had previously printed, cracking, and with some faded spots.
I asked him what the heck, how old is that shirt? He replied that it was from the last batch, but he didn't think that it was a big deal, so he hadn't said anything.
I explained that not only do I not want crappy product with my name on it out there, but I'd like to know of potential equipment or ink problems ASAP! I'd hate to keep cranking out defective shirts.
This one turned out to be my learning experience on a draft hitting my newly positioned dryer when a door was left open, lowering temps just enough to cause a problem on the few on the belt at the time.

[hijack]Great point to bring up! An open door, window, fan or even the furnace blower blowing anywhere near the dryer ends can be enough to undercure, or overcure/scorch if the oven tries to compensate by firing the burners/panels full time.[/hijack]

Please excuse my stupidity, but why would you need a double blade squeegee? If your printing parameters are correct, the first blade will clear your image. So what's the second blade for? Help the slow guy?

You haven't printed at our shop. Nothing prints nicely with one hit ;)

I have attached additional information in an attempt to answer this question sir. I would appreciate your feedback.

& Greetings to you good sir. Thank you for inquiring about the availability of double beveled edges in the rubber. Yes - I am certain that we can do that. However, the double beveled squeegee rubber is a non stock item here and will delay the availability by a week or more.
Here is a model of what it looks like.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

I'll drop you a line and order one of those to give it a try! Probably grab another winged floodbar too, those things are worth their weight in gold!

Great news Distinguished sir. I do have some double bevel blades and was wondering if I could get one to try out.? Have a glorious day.

I can see where there might be an application where this blade could be beneficial but I hope shops aren't using something like this on normal textile printing. Enlighten me if some of you are using this to print white ink on a black shirt, normal design, plastisol ink?

I was thinking the same thing. My question is how well the second squeegee can print with a minmal to no ink well. You need an ink well in order to deposit ink. I can see the concept but whether it works in the real world is another thing.

The second squeegee is only a cut or clear stroke. It should be a dry squeegee. Its only these to make sure all the ink that didn't clear the screen gets cleared by the second squeegee. Does it work? I don't know.

I love new stuff and seeing innovative products. How about passing a few of those babies out for some beta testing. ;D If it works I would gladly pay for it. If not you would get back. Cleaned of course.

I also hope these are lighter than the old version. This was another thing the printers didnt like, they said it weighed a ton.
