The invention relates to a silk screen printer incorporating a printing table (2), a stencil (4) held in a frame (3), and a squeegee (5) which is movable relative to the frame, such as to enable a first pattern on the stencil to be transferred to print material (6a) registered on the printing table (2), to form a second pattern. During an actual printing sequence, the squeegee (5) is intended to move over the stencil (4) and relative to the frame (3) in a first direction (A), whereas the stencil (4) and the stencil-frame (3) are intended to move in another direction (B) opposite to the first direction. The printing table (2) is a flat printing-table, which can be displaced (C) synchronously with the frame (3). During a printing sequence, a gripper (8) operative to collect print material (6a) located in a laying-on station is registered to the printing table (2) for movement (C) in common therewith.
