What this tool is for
This 12-inch Speedball blade is rounded nitrile rated at 65 durometer, in a hardwood handle. It gives you a wider reach than the six-inch fabric squeegee while keeping the same intended fabric coverage. It is worth comparing for a larger shirt graphic when you can move the full blade through your frame.

Fit and buying advice
Choose the shorter version if most work is on narrow sleeves or small frames. For fine paper lettering, compare a square graphic blade before choosing a longer fabric blade purely for its reach.

Questions about this tool
How do I check whether I can pull it across my screen?
Measure both the clear inside width and the image width, then allow for handle and finger clearance.
Does 12 inches describe how tall a design can be?
It describes the blade across the pull. The frame opening and your stroke determine the other dimension.
What if I print a large design with a thin ink?
Check that the rounded fabric profile and your mesh give the deposit you want on a proof.
