KNIGHT MFG

Screen mounted aluminum micros allow precise direct placement of screens onto the platen. They also make registration very simple and reliable.

Set of five is $27.00 plus S&H.

 HOW MICROS WORK:

Screen with micros positioned on the platen.

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

Micros attach directly to all four sides of a wood screen with wood screws. Two micros attach at the rear, one at each side, and one in front (see 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. 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 registration 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 while making a print and then be removed and held in the screen rack. The screen will go back onto 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. A nickel or 1/8" thick washer is taped to each bottom corner of the screen to provide off contact. The screens are held by the screen rack when not on the platen. This is a direct screen placement "rack and pick" system, and it's quite simple to use as well as extremely accurate and reliable. This system will allow you to achieve professional results that rivals the work done on large commercial equipment costing much more. Complete instructions are provided. Micros are sold in sets of five.
