Precision is not Optional
There is NO Wrong Time to Make the Right Decision
In rotary screen printing, selecting the right squeegee is not just important — it is fundamental. After all, the correct squeegee directly influences print quality, operational efficiency, and overall process stability. Therefore, partnering with a true specialist becomes a strategic decision rather than a technical detail.
At UPrint Technologies, we proudly serve as your rotary screen squeegee specialist — powered by RKS expertise.

RKS — Precision That Drives Print Performance
For decades, RKS has supported printers who demand repeatable quality and reliable performance. Since its founding in 1984, the company has remained focused on one clear objective: continuously improving printing results through advanced squeegee technology.
As a result of this consistent focus, RKS has grown into a globally recognized market leader, supplying high-performance rotary screen squeegees to printing industries worldwide.
Established Expertise since 1984
When Rudolf August Kuerten founded RKS, his ambition centered on one principle — controlled and consistent ink transfer leads to better print quality. Over time, this philosophy shaped product development, material research, and engineering precision.
Consequently, RKS earned its position as a benchmark brand in squeegee blade technology. Today, printers trust RKS because it delivers precision, durability, and long-term process stability.
Designed for Better Printing Results
However, even the best design only delivers value when performance remains consistent. Therefore, RKS focuses on repeatable quality and advanced material engineering, including:
- High-grade polyurethane
- Carbon fibre–reinforced plastics
- Glass fibre–reinforced plastics
Because of this material expertise, RKS squeegees combine flexibility with structural stability. Consequently, vibration decreases, ink laydown becomes more controlled, and print results remain sharp and clean — even at higher press speeds.s vibration in the machine, ensures controlled ink laydown, and supports sharp, clean print results—even at higher press speeds.
Engineered for Efficiency on Press
Beyond superior print quality, RKS squeegees actively improve operational efficiency. Thanks to optimized formulations and precise geometry, printers benefit from:
- Reduced vibration during printing
- Higher and more stable press speeds
- Less screen wear
- Extended squeegee lifetime
- Fewer changeovers and reduced downtime
As a result, production becomes more predictable, cost-effective, and efficient.
A Philosophy Built on Partnership and Innovation
At the core of RKS lies a clear philosophy: develop the right squeegee for every application. To achieve this, RKS collaborates closely with printers, OEMs, and technical experts.
Moreover, the company actively participates in industry forums and knowledge-sharing initiatives. Through this continuous exchange, RKS strengthens rotary screen printing technology while further improving its own solutions.
Quality and Continuous Innovation as Top Priorities
RKS firmly believes that the right squeegee directly contributes to better printing results. Therefore, quality and innovation remain top priorities — never compromises.
This commitment has led to a comprehensive product portfolio that includes:
- Stabilized rotary screen squeegee blades
- Advanced squeegee systems
- Precision grinding solutions
- Peripherals and special application tools
Clearly, RKS treats squeegee manufacturing as a science — not a side activity.
