AE M&R® Standard Floodbar 18"
18-inch standard floodbar designed for compatible M&R® automatic screen printing presses, providing smooth, consistent ink distribution across the screen for reliable production printing.
Characteristics
The AE M&R® Standard Floodbar 18" is a replacement screen printing floodbar designed for use with compatible M&R® automatic screen printing equipment. Its 18-inch width makes it suitable for jobs requiring a compact flood area while maintaining consistent ink coverage across the image area.
During the flood stroke, the floodbar moves ink across the screen and fills the open mesh with ink in preparation for the squeegee print stroke. Maintaining an even layer of ink helps promote consistent print results from one production cycle to the next, making the floodbar an important component of the automatic screen printing process.
Ideal for production shops operating compatible M&R® equipment, this standard floodbar can be used as a replacement for a worn or damaged floodbar or kept on hand as a spare for quick job changes and production maintenance.
