Abstract: A screenprinting machine has at least one printing station past which an object to be printed travels in a path, and which includes a movable printing screen and a cooperating movable squeegee. A fixed rack extends along this path, and an arrangement is provided which engages and rotates the object to be printed and which includes a gear which meshes with the rack. A drive is provided for moving the squeegee at a constant rate of speed, and another arrangement serves to vary the speed of movement and the stroke of the printing screen in dependence upon the peripheral speed of the rotating object.
