Abstract: Squeegee device for applying printing medium to a substrate, interacting with a squeegee element which is made at least partially from a magnetizable material and can be moved between an operating position and an at-rest position, which squeegee device comprises a support frame for delimiting an operating space, inside which the operating position of the squeegee element is located, and magnetic means which are provided on the support frame for generating a magnetic field at the location of a designated bearing-wall part of the support frame in order to pull the squeegee element onto the bearing-wall part in the at-rest position, in which device switching means are provided, which interact with the magnetic means in order to apply the magnetic field at the location of the bearing-wall part in a switched-on position and to substantially eliminate the magnetic field at the location of the bearing-wall part in a switched-off position.
