The Interchangeable/Modular Textile Printing Pod system marks a significant innovation in screen printing, merging manual techniques with textile enhancement in a singular, efficient design. It features a linear, expandable layout of printing Pods that optimize workspace by aligning along the perimeter, freeing central areas for broader use. Each Pod, equipped with versatile stations, connects via a Rail & Trolley mechanism, supporting seamless movement of heating attachments like Flash Heaters and Heat Presses across Pods. This design not only conserves space but also enhances workflow, enabling swift transitions across printing tasks. Ideal for space-constrained environments, this adaptable and scalable system offers a modern solution to diverse screen printing needs, embodying efficiency and flexibility in printmaking technology.

The present disclosure provides a stencil printer for printing a viscous substance onto a substrate. The stencil printer comprises a frame, a stencil, a support table, a squeegee blade mount, a squeegee blade and a squeegee blade holder. The stencil is connected to the frame. The support table is connected to the frame and configured to support the substrate in a printing position. The support table is provided below the stencil. The squeegee blade mount is connected to the frame and provided above the stencil. The squeegee blade extends in an X direction and performing a squeegeeing operation in a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction. The squeegee blade holder comprises a fixed holder and a movable holder. The fixed holder is fixedly mounted to the squeegee blade mount, and the squeegee blade is held on the movable holder. The movable holder is configured to be movably connected to the fixed holder in the X direction to enable the squeegee blade to move relative to the support table in the X direction, so that the squeegee blade is adjustable in the X direction to a position aligned with the support table and the stencil.

An alignment method for screen printing process includes: attaching a transparent film on a to-be-printed substrate in such a manner that the transparent film covers at least a to-be-printed region of the to-be-printed substrate, forming a printed pattern including an alignment mark on the transparent film by using a screen printing plate to imprint printed material onto the transparent film, and comparing whether the alignment mark on the transparent film is aligned with an alignment mark on the to-be-printed substrate. When the alignment mark on the transparent film is aligned with the alignment mark on the to-be-printed substrate, it is determined that current positions of the screen printing plate and the to-be-printed substrate are final alignment positions. When the alignment mark on the transparent film is not aligned with the alignment mark on the to-be-printed substrate, the current position of the screen printing plate or the to-be-printed substrate is adjusted.

A printing device including a conveyance rod which discharges and introduces a screen mask and a board support member; and a control section. The control section performs a mask exchange process including a mask discharge process of discharging the screen mask to be discharged and a mask introduction process of introducing the screen mask to be introduced by controlling a conveyance rod. In addition, the control section performs a support member exchange process including a support member discharge process of discharging the board support member to be discharged and a support member introduction process of introducing the support member to be introduced by controlling the conveyance rod.

The present disclosure discloses a printing machine. The printing machine includes a carrying platform for carrying a to-be-printed board, a frame above the carrying platform, a roller-shaped screen printing plate with printing graphic meshes, and an ink supply device within the roller-shaped screen printing plate. The roller-shaped screen printing plate is mounted to the frame in a manner that the roller-shaped screen printing plate is capable of rotating relative to the carrying platform.

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.

The application relates to a printing device for printing onto substrates, in particular solar cells, wafers or printed circuit boards, including a squeegee means and including at least one printing table, wherein the squeegee means is arranged above the printing table, and including at least one conveying means, by means of which a substrate can be transported away in each case to a printing nest below the squeegee direction and away out of the printing nest after the printing process has taken place. It is provided that the printing table has several conveying means, which are arranged side by side and aligned parallel to one another and which each have at least one printing nest, and that the squeegee means has at least one squeegee, which can be moved over each printing nest in order to print successively onto the substrates, which are arranged in the printing nests.
