The print head and screen assembly of a Semi-Automatic Screen Printer is raised above its normal printing height and selective attachment of several different fixtures on the nest plate for holding the substrate in a desired position during a screen printing operation for printing gold on LTCC substrates.

Ceramic screen printing apparatus

A fixture attached to the rear of the base plate of a semi-automatic screen printer includes an element holder having a vertical recess or pocket for receiving an assembly, such as a substrate, of LTCC laminate material lengthwise therein so as to expose only one side surface to the printing head which would otherwise be prevented because of the height restrictions imposed by the printer head.
