KNIGHT MFG

Screen mounted aluminum micro registration brackets allow direct placement of screens on the platen. They also make registration very simple.

Set of five is $32.00 plus S&H.

Screen with micros positioned on the platen.

 Front micro is tightened a half turn to lock screen in place.

The micro's bolt heads contact the platens edge. Note the 1/8" off contact.

 New bottom mount micros.

 The bottom mount micros are designed to work with 20 X 24 screens. Five per set. $37.00 plus S&H for one set of five.

The side mount micros attach directly to all four sides of an 18 X 20 wood screen with #10 wood screws. Two micros attach at the rear, one at each side, and one in front (see other photos this page). Once attached, they allow you to precisely register the screen and then place it directly on the platen to make a print. A nickel is taped to each bottom corner of the screen to provide off contact. (See photos) Registration is done by adjusting the knobs to move the screen left to right, and front to back until the screen is lined up correctly over the art map. The carriage bolt heads contact the platens edge and the screen moves as the knobs are adjusted. Once you've got it registered perfectly, just lock down the jam nuts with a 7/16" wrench. The screen can now be placed directly on the platen to make a print and then be removed. It will go back on the platen in the exact same position every time. The front micro with the larger aluminum knob is tightened a half turn or so once the screen is on the platen to pull the screen forward snugly against the rear two micros.  This holds the screen firmly in place while the print is made. The screens are held by the screen rack when not on the platen. I call this a "rack and pick" system, and it's quite simple to use. Complete instructions are provided. Micros are sold in sets of five.

$32.00 plus S&H.
