Abstract
An apparatus that contains inks and other substances of similar viscous within the useable area of a screen printing frames assembly. A structural assembly defining the enclosed area in which the ink is to be contained fits within the perimeter of the frame. Incorporated into the apparatus is a resilient sealing edge that ensures that the ink is contained within the area defined by the apparatus. Furthermore, a flexible retaining member may be incorporated into the apparatus for positive assurance that the position of the apparatus relative to the screen printing frame assembly is maintained constant. The apparatus is quickly and easily installed by positioning it on top of the frame, applying pressure on the top of two opposing sides of the structural assembly, and pressing it firmly against the screen and is disengaged by applying an upward force under one or more of the corners of the structural assembly until it separates from the screen printing frame assembly. Additionally, the profile of the apparatus does not interfere with the normal methods of securing the screen printing frame assembly to the printing press.
