  • Patent number: 5161460
    Abstract: A multiple screen printing apparatus is disclosed which can be manufactured to loose manufacturing tolerances but yet can print "all screens-down" with accurate and repeatable registration. The registration is a result of having two complementary components for both distance and angular registration which are located near the printing end of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a spring biased loose carrying connection that causes the registration components to seat accurately with one another as the screen is brought into engagement with the workpiece.
