Default Squeegee size

What's a good squeegee size to start with? The starter package we're looking at comes with 10" squeegees,

should we get 12" or 14" to go with them?...

Default Re: Squeegee size

it really depends on your size of prints. it should be no less then a half inch from each side of the print to look good.

then i'm thinking 12" and 14" wouldn't hurt, having to run two passes on a 10.75" wide design with a 10" squeegee i'm guessing wouldn't look right..
