Apparatus and methods for the three-dimensional screen printing of images onto pallet-supported articles allow more than one layer of ink to be printed upon an article to form a three-dimensional design. A pallet having a compressible substrate is described; the substrate compresses to receive previously printed image masses during subsequent printing steps. A screen having baffles may cooperate with the substrate. A screen comprising dimples in its article-contacting surface is provided, whereby previously printed images may be protected from screen contact during a printing operation. Multiple printing steps may be performed without intermediate drying steps. |
