&Rʼs Digital Squeegee excels in high-speed short runs with many colors and demanding

ack in the day traditional screen printers served an apprenticeship as there was a large amount of knowledge and skill required. There were several reasons for this, but now the GOCCOPRO eliminates these skills that were required. The first part of screen printing is making the screen, which involves coating a mesh, exposing the image and washout with chemicals.

Digital Squeegee can print on a wide array of fabrics, including synthetic and performance, and itʼs compatible with environmentally friendly screen inks like HSA or Urethane inks and water-based digital inks. Digital Squeegee inks can be cured in conventional gas convection dryers, and it works with most newer M&R automatic screen printing presses.
