Durability and Strength

A wooden squeegee for screen printing is known for its durability and strength. Unlike plastic alternatives, wooden squeegees provide a more solid feel and a reliable pressure during printing. This is important because consistent pressure helps create cleaner prints, reducing the risk of ink bleeding. Additionally, good-quality wood can endure wear, ensuring that your squeegee lasts through many projects. This means you can count on a wooden squeegee to be your trusted tool for numerous printing tasks.

Control and Precision

Using a wooden squeegee allows for better control and precision during the screen printing process. Since wood is a heavier material, it can create more force with less effort, which helps to push the ink through the mesh screen evenly. Many artists prefer the way wooden squeegees feel in their hands because they can easily adjust their grip and angle to match their desired printing technique. As a result, this leads to higher quality prints and fewer mistakes.

Eco-Friendly Choice

In today’s world, many people are concerned about sustainability. Choosing a wooden squeegee for screen printing is an eco-friendly option as wood is a natural material. Many wooden squeegees are sourced from sustainably managed forests, so by using them, you're also making a positive impact on the environment. Furthermore, wood is biodegradable, which means when you’re done using your squeegee, it won’t contribute to plastic waste. So, using a wooden squeegee not only helps produce great prints but also supports a healthier planet.
