PURPOSE: To sufficiently increase the printing pressure to a metal screen by inserting a metal plate over the entire length in the width direction of a printing plate so as not to directly expose the same to the main surface of the printing plate to constitute a squeegee blade.

CONSTITUTION: A solid shaded part 1 shows a squeegee blade based on a polyurethane resin and a dotted line part 2 shows a steel plate composed of SUS and both parts 1, 2 are looked as a whole from the plane vertical to the width direction of a printing plate crossing a printing direction P at a right angle. An upper wavy line W shows that a uniform structure continues toward the holder of the blade provided to the lower part of a squeegee device. A metal plate to be said as a core material of a kind is inserted in the central part in the thickness direction of the squeegee blade over the almost total length in the length direction of the blade and the printing pressure to a metal screen plate including a mesh screen becomes easy to adjust or necessary printing pressure becomes easy to obtain. Further, the abrasion of the blade on the metal screen plate is suppressed.
