Abstract
A bifurcated platen assembly is used to improve screen printing operations by providing parallel spaced apart platens instead of a single platen. The platens occupy the same space as a conventional platen but allows the simultaneous printing on two garment portions or two garments such that alignment problems are eliminated and the operator is able to increase through put production. The platen assembly is movable through a ninety degree arc to facilitate printing on different garments with appropriate screens.
