AE M&R® Winged Floodbar 16"
16-inch winged floodbar designed for compatible M&R® automatic screen printing presses, providing controlled ink distribution while helping keep ink concentrated within the print area for cleaner, more consistent production.
Characteristics
The AE M&R® Winged Floodbar 16" is a replacement screen printing floodbar designed for use with compatible M&R® automatic screen printing presses. Its 16-inch working width makes it well suited for applications where controlled and consistent ink flooding is required across the screen before each print stroke.
The winged design helps contain and direct ink toward the center of the printing area during operation. By reducing the tendency of ink to migrate toward the ends of the floodbar, the wings help maintain a more manageable ink supply in front of the squeegee and support consistent screen flooding throughout production.
Designed for demanding automatic screen printing environments, the AE M&R® Winged Floodbar provides a durable solution for replacing worn floodbars or configuring a press for specific print dimensions. Consistent flooding helps keep the image area properly supplied with ink between print strokes, supporting repeatable print quality during longer production runs.
The 16-inch size is especially useful for smaller print areas and jobs that do not require a full-width floodbar. Selecting a floodbar appropriate for the artwork and screen dimensions can help improve ink control, reduce unnecessary ink movement, and make production setup and cleanup more efficient.
