Abstract
An apparatus that contains inks and other substances of similar viscous within the usable 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 structural assembly is a resilient sealing edge which ensures that the ink is contained within the area defined by the apparatus. Furthermore, a substantially rigid retaining mechanism is incorporated into the apparatus for positive assurance that the position of the apparatus relative to the screen printing frame assembly is maintained constant. In a preferred embodiment, the retaining mechanism consists of a series of rigid retaining arms which are secured to the frame using threaded fasteners.
