We want to transition into metal squeegees. What are the considerations during this transition?

Hi, Thanks for the answers. I have a few others: How often you replace metal squeegees? Do they shorten the life of the stencil?

in addition, your prints may have a larger volume from the reduction of scooping from the rubber blades.

The obvious is size. Besides that, it depends on your screen printer. Some "smart heads" need to be retaught with the metal blades for each board. Some need to have the set-up programmed changed too. Angle of attack is something to double check a

Has anyone looked at SPI results across different squeegee blade manufacturers ? We are running Momentums and using the MPM pro-blades. Ive been considering looking at permalex blades again to see if I can maybe squeek out some better yields.
