Abstract
An improved squeegee and method of ergonomically modifying a conventional squeegee, is provided. A squeegee includes a rigid handle having a convex top side, opposite from a bottom side, and opposing concave faces longitudinally disposed between the top and bottom sides of the handle. A blade is attached to the bottom side of the handle. A compressible pad is removably secured to the convex topside of the handle providing maximum padding to the palmer regions of the printer's hands. The pad tapers to a minimum thickness at distal edges which are located on or near the concave faces of the handle.
