It takes the right ink and screen mesh for it to really work, I bought one for my Anatol press and yes it does work. I use S mesh 135 up to 150 at a screen angle 10, they suggest 15 but I found 10 works for us
wonder if you will look into figuring out how to clean it better or if you will figure out a better tool and way to clean it. anyway fun to see you test out products and not want to chuck them into the garbage. keep up the fun cheers.
Yeah man. That Action version is not the first. Double blade units have been around for at least 35 years but they were not technically thought out as well. The durometers chosen by Action are spot on especially with water based and discharge. Single strokes have been and should always be the goal for speed as long as you have the curing power for the run rates. I've been using these from the beginning of Actions launch and have to say they are well worth the cash. Clean up does suk but hey, Its mostly for white Plastisol UBs anyway and H2O inks. 1 stroke all the way yall. You will find especially with viscous Plastisol, you have to limit the ink load in the screen and monitor the well more often because to much viscous ink can inhibit the second blades contact and not sheer the deposit properly. To much ink is a no no. 15 degrees and medium speed and pressure are keys too. Happy Printing yall 🤠
Hahahaha fuck eh… it actually worked 😂😂😂. Well a guy will have to pick one up now, my mind especially went to less wear and tare on your press as well. If you’re only doing 1 stroke compared to 2 that’s half the work for your equipment. We print so much 1 colour white prints it’s Fucking bonkers. I’ll be getting one for our “base” and top whites 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 appreciate the video brother.
Maybe I'll try using mine again. It worked well for awhile, but then I started getting inconsistent results. I'm not saying it was only related to the double squeegee since my press is older, but when I switched back to the single squeegee/double stroke, my prints were good. Also, regarding the speed, this will greatly depend on your flash time, and whether or not you are double printing on a different print head. If you are only doing one stroke, and you don't need the flash, then it is definitely faster. I have two double squeegees, one for white and one for black. Both gave me mixed results, but I'm going to dust them off and try again. Always appreciate your videos!
Great vid. Neat new tool! Always dropping them gems. Look forward to the next!

So grateful for this review Lee, thanks. I have wanted to know about how good these are for ages. Excellent!
I don't even do screen printing. But do I learn from your videos and love watching them?! Yes, I do! Thank you.
Curious to see what you think of it. Use mine on and off. Cleaning it gets old quick.

One more item for my wish list!
This is Rod to see I had to head! I’ve always been a big fan of the dual squeegee! But seeing at quantified is awesome🎉❤
Thanks homie. I've always wondered about this thing, glad to finally see what it can do
White is super bright, which wilflex white are you running?
Put my like, and here's my comment.
Just purchased my blood spatter today. I can't wait to get it.
Thanks! Much appreciated
Damn that's pretty impressive

Would be an overkill for a manual press 😄, just to get 15 degree angle everytime😁. Challenge accepted.
This would pair nicely with another basecamp video.
Definitely should be included in Basecamp when it's time

Purchase a small paintbrush to clean between the two squeegees
Yup that works too. Any kind of stiff bristle brush would work perfectly.
I think we can say that thing works well.
It has its quirks but it works. We're still using it.
@@leestuart38 That's good to hear. Anything to speed up production is a bonus 👌🏽
Didnt see the rest of the team until half way through the video was wondering where they were
They're always here. This video was more about testing the squeegee than about us
Man the double squeegee makes white almost a one hit 👌
Pretty damn close when it's set up right
@@leestuart38 Give Print Print Flash Print a try and see what that quality looks like.
so... it would be better to have that squishy made to be disassembled and re-assembled for cleaning purposes. cool.
