Abstract
A new ink deflector for a squeegee assembly for use in a printing operation having a screening surface is disclosed. The squeegee has a first and second surface, and a pair of opposite ends, and an attachment for holding the squeegee at a suitable operating angle relative to the screening surface. A pair of ink deflectors are provided which are each detachably positioned at an operating angle relative to the screening surface along an end of the squeegee. The operating angle of each ink deflector in the present invention is independent of the operating angle of the squeegee. Each ink deflector, which has a first surface, is designed to direct ink towards the center of the first squeegee surface. Additionally, the ink deflector has a second surface which directs ink toward the center of the second squeegee surface. The ink deflector of the present invention may also have a third surface which retains ink proximate to the second squeegee surface, and a splatter surface attached to the second surface of the ink deflector prevents ink from splattering over the deflector and onto a printed object.
