squeegee angle
(1) an angle formed by the near-vertical axis of the squeegee and the plane of the screen, measured when the squeegee is in print position, but with no applied force or movement; also refer to angle of attack.
As this deterioration occurs, more variation occurs in functioning systems (the evenness of the air from one side of an air squeegee to the other, for example).
In modern automatic processing machines, this step is replaced by mechanical squeegee or pinching rollers. In small scale darkrooms, stop bath may use citric acid or other organic acids, or simply plain water.
Some researchers, using metol- hydroquinone developers, have recommended that, immediately after the first development, the print or film be removed from the tray, squeegeed on a flat surface, and then given the second exposure.
Working from the center outward, squeegee the water off the print. We worked over a concrete floor in an old factory building. You may need plastic drop-cloths.
They do the cleanest job I've ever gotten on my chromes. There are never any drying or squeegee marks on my film, and never any pinholes.
Ivorytype
An obsolete printing process designed to give the impression of a painting on ivory. A hand coloured print was impregnated with wax and squeegeed face down on hot glass. The paper base was then back by ivory tinted paper.
Experiment with different development times.
The best way to dry fiber paper is to squeegee it to remove excess surface water, then lay it flat, emulsion-up, on a drying screen. It will curl. Figure on drymounting for exhibition.
After washing, try placing them on your bathroom walls if they are made of tile, or you may use any other walls that have tile, and squeegee the water off of them. Hang them to dry.
