Each mounting member includes at least one projection for engaging an aperture in a stencil to mount the stencil under tension. A permanent-biasing mechanism engages one or more of the mounting members to place the stencil under tension. A second biasing mechanism engages the mounting member to provide a bias opposite that of the permanent-biasing mechanism to facilitate release of a mounted stencil.
