Building a screen printing press – Part 5
In order to support prints having more than just one colour, we will need our press to be able to load more than just one screen- even if it is only one screen at a time. To do this, we need to build a mechanism which will allow us to preset a screen position over the platen, and repeatably remove or mount screens in such a way that they always position correctly in the same spot.

Spring loading allows the screen to be maintained in either a raised or lowered position. Without this, one would have to manually hold the screen up while adjusting the work on the platen.
