    (54) A method of locating a print in a respective printing position in multi-colour silk screen printers


    (57) The invention relates to a method in multi-colour silk screen printers for adjusting print in respective print positions. This is effected by registering print mate­rial to be calibrated in a laying-on position (7˝), and reading the position of the print material and storing the values obtained. The print material (7) is then printed in a first printing station, a second printing station, and so on, having knowledge of the positional settings of stepping motors (13,14,15), these positional settings being stored in a computer memory. The posi­tions of respective prints on the print material are evaluated (10′, 12′) in a laying-off position or station in the printer.
    The next print in line can now be printed with the minimum of discrepancy, by first establishing the posi­tion of the print material in the laying-on station, with knowledge of the positions of the earlier prints and the then prevailing positional settings of the stepping motors.
