Squeegee Rest

Need to improve your productivity and lessen physical fatigue when using a manual printer? Vastex says its new squeegee-rest attachment is the solution. Users may attach the tool to square-sided screen frames made of wood, aluminum, or steel. Vastex reports that a version for frames with round sides, such as retensionables, is in the works. The squeegee rest requires no tools to attach or holes to drill. It is composed of set of clamps that are attached to either side of the screen, allowing a tube or rod—supplied by the end user—to be added, which spans across the frame. The clamps can be slid to a position just past the image to reduce motion and keep ink limited to the part of the screen in use. Vastex, 1032 N.
