An indicator system is provided for ensuring proper registration of a frame. A plurality of stops for a registration system are electrically coupled to each other. When contact is made with a metal frame, a circuit is created and an indicator coupled to the circuit, such as a light, can be activated to show such contact.

According to an aspect herein, there is provided a method of decorating multiple parts, the method includes: loading a plurality of parts onto a pallet; registering location of each of the plurality of parts in relation to the pallet; registering location of each of the plurality of parts with each of a plurality of templates; decorating the plurality of parts using the plurality of templates; and inspecting the decorated parts to monitor for defects. According to another aspect herein, there is provided a method of decorating a part, the method includes: positioning a part for decoration; starting a decoration process for the part; and adjusting one or more parameters of the decoration process during the decoration process based on predetermined characteristics of the part or the decoration to provide for enhanced print coverage or quality.

A method of screen printing positionally synchronizes a plurality of pallet assemblies on a first screen printing machine with a plurality of pallet assemblies on a second screen printing machine. A screen printed garment having a properly aligned first image received from the first screen printing machine is transferred on a portion of one of the pallet assemblies on the first screen printing machine to one of the plurality of pallet assemblies on the second printing machine. The properly aligned first image on the garment is in proper positional alignment with a screen printing head on the second screen printing machine such that a second image complimentary to the first image is printed on the garment in proper position on the garment relative to the first image without user intervention to positionally locate the first image relative to the screen printing head on the second machine.

A system includes a frame, an ultraviolet light source, an LCD panel, and a computer. The frame is configured to retain a substrate to be converted into a silk screen stencil. The LCD panel is positioned between the frame and the ultraviolet light source. The computer is coupled to the LCD panel. The computer is configured to transfer image data to the LCD panel. The image data defines an image to be transferred to the substrate.

The present invention discloses a four-position full-cell solar silicon wafer printer, including a base, an infeed guide rail, a detection camera assembly, a turntable assembly, a lifting module, a UVW correction alignment mechanism, and an outfeed guide rail. The UVW mechanism comprises two Y-axis modules, one X-axis module, a printing platform, a steel mesh frame, and a printing squeegee kit. The Y/X-axis modules are under the platform, their drive ends connected to the steel mesh frame. The squeegee kit moves left-right on the platform. It uses the Y/X-axis modules and detection camera to realize X, Y, three-axis motion, ensuring steel mesh-silicon wafer alignment and optimizing printing directions.
