Racletes

Racletes are what we call squeegees here at Oficina. The squeegees are an indispensable tool in screen printing. Ours are made of pine wood, varying in size*, with an ergonomic and comfortable profile and the rubber is fixed with pressure staples.

Choosing the hardness of the rubbers depends on the type of project you're doing, as the squeegee influences the amount of ink that passes from the screen to the printing surface. Soft rubbers (70sh) allow more ink to be deposited and are therefore more suitable for textile printing, while hard rubbers (80sh) are better for highly detailed graphic work.

If you're just starting out and are looking for something versatile, choose the soft hardness (70sh).

It is possible to have more sizes, just ask us for your custom order.

*The dimensions indicated are approximate and may vary by 1-5mm from the indicated value.

In addition, we offer photolithographic printing and canvas display services, as well as recovering and replacing the fabric of your canvases that are no longer in good condition. See here all our screen printing services.
