ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for silk screen printing the tops and fronts of completed painter's cap. An oval-shaped platen is dimensioned so that a painter's cap fits over it, the bottom of the top portion of the painter's cap engaging the platen and held to the platen by an adhesive. A silk screen may be pivoted into contact with the cap top while mounted on the platen. For printing the front of a painter's cap, a saddle secured to a frame and having a flat platen which supports the cap front is provided. The flat platen of the saddle is spaced from a registration plate is essentially linear and spaced with respect to the registration plate so that it does not interfere with a hem of the cap between the front and top thereof. A rear blocking member is removably mounted to the rear edge of the flat platen of the saddle so that the saddle may also be used effectively print the front panels of baseball-type caps.
