A squeegee unit for a rotary screen-printing device comprises a squeegee () with a squeegee edge () which is designed, during operation of a rotary screen-printing device in which the squeegee unit is mounted, to be pressed onto the inner side of a cylindrical screen of the rotary screen-printing device, and a squeegee holder () in which the squeegee is mounted. The squeegee edge () can be moved away from the squeegee holder () and towards the squeegee holder. A resilient element () is arranged between the squeegee edge () and the squeegee holder (), in such a manner that the squeegee edge is pressed away from the squeegee holder by spring force. The squeegee unit is provided with travel-limiting means which are designed in such a manner that the squeegee edge () can be moved over a relatively short distance of at most 1 mm and preferably of at most 0.5 from the working position in a direction away from the squeegee holder.

Disclosed is a process for preparing a cylindrical rotary screen printing stencil to made it suitable for use in a screen printing machine. In the process the steps of application of a photosensitive coating, drying, pattern-wise exposure, development and hardening are carried out while the end rings are already fitted in the ends of the screen. Described is also a system of devices suitable for carrying out said process.
