    Well, I’m in the minority here. I never squeegee my prints. I just hang them up to dry. Never noticed any ill effects from this, but after reading these posts, I think I’ll try it and compare a dried squeegeed print to a dried unsqueegeed one.

    I don't like squeegee as excess water moves toward edge of squeegee and leaves a line at ends.

    Unless you're printing larger than 26 inches across the short side, you're using too small a wiper blade.
