Abstract

A silk screen printer includes a cylindrical printing table for applying print to a sheet material and a stencil which is stretched in a frame. The stencil is adapted for reciprocating movement in response to reciprocating movement of the printing table and a squeege arrangement is included for urging the stencil towards the printing table to thereby transfer print onto sheet material located between the printing table and the stencil. A gripping device is provided for gripping the forward end of the material. The gripping device is movable with the frame in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the frame. A spring device urges the gripping device towards a movement-damping member whereby the gripping member is registered in relation to the chassis of the printer. The registration of the gripping device relative to the chassis is independent of the stop position of the frame and the printing table.
