Abstract
A squeegee for forcing a print material into apertures of a mask screen which is disposed on an object, so as to print the print material on the object. The squeegee includes: (a) a plate body movable relative to the mask screen in sliding contact thereof with one of opposite surfaces of the mask screen which is remote from the object, while taking a rearward inclined posture in which the plate body is inclined such that a distal end portion of the plate body is positioned on a forward side of a proximal end portion of the plate body as viewed in a squeegee moving direction in which the plate body is moved relative to the mask screen; and (b) a bank portion provided on one of opposite surfaces of the plate body which is remote from the mask screen, and having a blocking surface which projects from the distal end portion of the plate body in a direction away from the mask screen. The bank portion is made of a material softer than a material of the plate body.
