ABSTRACT:
An offset screen-printing machine for applying a design in color to the surfaces of a succession of articles, such as articles of ceramic ware, comprising a transfer plate affording a flat, non-absorbent, surface constituting an intermediate surface, screen-printing means enabling color to be applied by a screen-printing process on to that intermediate surface, an article support for supporting an article to which the design is to be applied, a deformable transfer pad in the shape of an inverted dome, and blade means operative to scrape residual color from the intermediate surface. The machine is operable cyclically so that, in each cycle color is applied through the screen on to the intermediate surface, the color is picked up from that surface by the pad, and the color is transferred from the pad to an article supported by the article support, the blade means operating, before the application of color through the screen, to scrape from the intermediate surface any residual color remaining from the previous cycle. The blade is wiped after each scraping operation and the color from the blade recovered. The intermediate surface may be a highly finished metallic surface and the blade of, for example, nylon.
