Abstract: A variable height print table arrangement for a screen printing apparatus which includes a plurality of rotatable lower level outwardly extending spider arms which support corresponding support pallets or tables on which apparel or other textile substrates to be screen printed are placed. The rotatable lower level outwardly extending spider arms are lowered and raised using a mechanical drive, such as an electrical servomotor or an electrical stepper motor, which is capable of lowering and raising the rotatable lower outwardly extending level spider arms a predetermined variable distance. The variable height print table arrangement for a screen printing apparatus also includes a counterbalance arrangement, preferably using a compression spring, which reduces the effective weight of the rotatable lower level outwardly extending spider arms and allows a smaller mechanical drive to be used.
