A screen printing apparatus (1) includes a printing execution unit (20A, 20B) that performs screen printing on a substrate (W). At least one substrate support table (10A, 10B) that is provided movably along a specific direction (Y) orthogonal to the conveying direction (X). A table drive mechanism (4A, 5A, 4B, 5B) that moves the substrate support table (10A, 10B) at least between substrate entry and exit positions (EnP1, EnP2, ExP1, ExP2) along a specific direction (Y). The substrate entry and exit positions (EnP1, EnP2, ExP1, ExP2) are set asymmetrically with respect to the specific direction (Y). A printing execution unit drive mechanism (210) is provided to drive the printing execution unit (20A, 20B) along the specific direction (Y). A control unit is provided to control the printing execution unit drive mechanism (210) so that the printing execution unit (20A, 20B) is driven to set the printing position (SP1, SP2) on a substrate conveying path (PH1, PH2) needed for the substrate support table (10A, 10B) to move from the substrate entry position (EnP1, EnP2) to the substrate exit (ExP1, ExP2). |
