Abstract

A silkscreen printer (1) constructed for printing one and the same pattern by squeegee movement in two mutually opposite and mutually different directions. The silkscreen printer comprises a printing table (2) which is held stationary in relation to the printer chassis (3), a stencil (4) accommodated in a frame (5) above the printing table, and a squeegee arrangement (6, 6') which is arranged for reciprocal movement along the stencil, therewith to press ink through the stencil (4) and onto print material (7) placed on the printing table, such as to transfer the pattern of the stencil (4) onto the material (7). One side of the stencil frame (5) is provided with a first pivot device (8) which is intended for pivotal co-action with a first pivot pin (9) when printing is effected by squeegee movement in a direction towards the first pin (9). The opposite side of the stencil frame is provided with a second pivot device (10) which is intended to be brought into pivotal co-action with a second pivot pin (11) when printing is effected by squeegee movement in a direction towards the second pivot pin. The distance between the first and the second pivot devices (10) is somewhat greater than the distance between the first and the second pivot pins (11).
