Abstract: A unitary, one-piece support element adapted to completely surround a glass substrate in a screen stenciling apparatus. The support element is in the form of a collar having an opening complementary to the shape of the substrate and offers support for the stencil screen during a stenciling operation to maintain the same in a flat condition throughout. Also embodied in the apparatus is a glass aligning arrangement to accurately locate the glass substrate in preparation for the stenciling operation.
