Australian designed and manufactured.

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the NEHOC Long Life squeegee range is a true trade quality professional grade squeegee at budget price.

The Australian made wooden handle is designed for comfort, well balanced across the width of the blade and light to use. Screwed for an x2 lifespan compared to nailed/ glued economy squeegees on the market. Matched with a quality urethane blade for sharper prints, using less pressure and ink compared to low grade rubber used in economy squeegee's.

Using a professional grade squeegee will help reduce the two most common printing errors of excess pressure and incorrect angle, enabling even a beginner to receive quality prints first time.

Balanced for improved quality

The solid balanced handle provides even blade contact pressure across the design area and through the screen.

Comfortable to hold, the reduce print pressure has a great flow on affect to the arm/elbow/wrist, making the NEHOC Long Life Squeegee ideal for all users with wrist injuries/ pain/ arthritis.

This ideal balance between usage and performance has been honed over 40+ years of development and local manufacture by NEHOC.
- Why not use a metal handle? They are made for automated presses (hence the narrow fit), heavier than wood and uncomfortable for longer runs of printing.

x2 Lifespan

Double the life of your squeegee with easy blade rotation, each squeegee is screwed together - no nails or glue - unlike the cheap Chinese brands or 'Speedball' wooden types which must be replaced once the blade is damaged/ worn.

Sanded corners add a softness to the sides to stop potential damage to screens and hands during handling and use, unlike Aluminium blades which can damage mesh and fingers.

Urethane (not rubber) Blade

The trade quality Urethane blade provides years of quality results as the blade is resistant to wear and doesn't require sharpening.

The stronger urethane is resistant to damage/ knicks/ marks during storage (and usage), blade damage will cause lines/ marks in prints that require blade replacement/ sharpening.
- Cheap rubber blades will wear faster with usage through the abrasive nature of silk screens.

It's the sharp square edge of the blade that pulls the ink across the silk screen to print, if your blade is rounded you must press harder for the same result and ink flow.
Harder pressure = blurring/ bleeding of ink in the design and lower quality.

Flat base allows standing between prints

The unique flat base design enables the NEHOC squeegee to stand between prints, holding the ink off items and keeping a clean work area.

Where do you put your squeegee after printing?
Seems like a simple answer, however many beginners place it down on a piece of paper next to the print area wasting costly ink and creating a mess in the work area in just a short time as that inked paper transfers back to the squeegee handle and onto your fingers.

Custom sizes

Not quite the size you need? No problems, all NEHOC Professional Squeegee's can be cut down to a custom size using a sharp saw.

NB: Inch size is reference only, all manufacturing measurements are in centimetres, Imperial reference only for US Speedball screens users.

Clean after use

Rotate blade every 12 months or 5,000 prints.

Do not soak in water to clean - just wipe ink away with soft cloth after use.

Immediately after printing return excess ink to the container, wipe any remaining ink from the blade with paper towel (absorbent toilet paper works best) until blade is free of ink. It is only the wet ink that is important to remove and that’s best done before it dries on the blade.

Always clean your squeegee immediately after use. You may not remove the pigment stain, squeegees are a tool that will get dirty/  messy.
