The printing apparatus of the present invention includes an article holder that in the design disclosed herein includes an arcuate shaped plate for receiving the article to be printed and a screen frame assembly movably mounted thereover. Screen frame assembly is supported by a pair of upright stationary members and is movable upwardly and downwardly relative thereto. A foot actuated pedal is operatively interconnected to said screen frame assembly for moving the same from an upper in operative position to a lower operative printing position where a screen carried by said screen frame assembly directly overlies and engages the article to be printed.
