Abstract: A screen printing squeegee to manually apply ink or pigment through a screen or mesh membrane onto a substrate comprising a squeegee holder including a blade channel to operatively receive a squeegee blade therein having a squeegee handle thereon such that the centerline axis of the squeegee handle is inclined relative to the centerline axis of the squeegee blade wherein the acute angle formed by the intersection of the centerline axis of the squeegee handle and the centerline axis of the squeegee blade is about 60 degrees whereby the squeegee is manually pushed across the substrate away from the operator when the centerline axis of the squeegee handle forms an angle of from about 150 degrees to about 130 degrees with the substrate.
