ABSTRACT:
A squeegee assembly is provided with selectively adjustable stiffness for the squeegee blade to control the deflection of the squeegee blade and thereby the position of the leading edge of the blade when it is under pressure and forcing ink through a screen printing fabric. The preferred adjustment is achieved by a vertically movable clamp having front and rear plates engaging the front and rear faces of the squeegee blade. The clamp is moved up or down the squeegee blade to adjust the stiffness of the blade by moving the plates vertically. Preferably, the plates are at a fixed spacing with a lower end on the rear plate located below the lower end of the front plate. Fasteners clamp the plates to an upper holder and clamp the lower ends of the plates against the squeegee blade.
