A multi-color printing apparatus for automatically screen printing workpieces in diverse colors. The apparatus has a plurality of printing units spaced about a central support. A number of radially extending support arms cantilevered from the central support carry the workpiece at their free end for movement between printing units. After being indexed to its approximate final position at a particular station, a brake is engaged to prevent rotation of the support arm and a lock engages the support arm bring the arm into a registered position for the duration of the printing operation, after which the brake and locking bar are disengaged, allowing the support arm to rotate to another printing unit.
