Zipper Notch Squeegee

Zip hoodies are notorious for causing squeegee hang-ups when printing over the zipper. A simple fix is running notch-cut squeegees, designed so the blade clears the raised zipper area without smearing ink. 


This keeps prints sharp, reduces blade wear, and prevents misprints across tricky zipper seams. It’s a small adjustment that pays off with smoother hoodie runs on your auto press.
