Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an in-line, multi-station screen printer which has a first track for receiving a plurality of platen carriers. A series of printing heads are disposed above the first track and adapted to register with the carriers at pre-selected locations. Means are associated with each of the platens to hold the workpiece in a taut position on the platen. A drying station is located at the end of the printing stations and includes a silicone rubber heater which can be brought into direct contact or close proximity with the platen surface to dry the screening ink or dye. Once the drying cycle is completed, the carriers are discharged on a second, return track to be returned to the loading and unloading end of the machine where the operator can unload the carrier and replace the completed workpiece with a new workpiece.
