PURPOSE: To prevent blurring from occurring at the time of printing and enhance the yield of the product, by a method wherein an ink accumulated on the front side of a squeegee after completion of printing is fed to a printing-starting position in the accumulated state together with the squeegee.

CONSTITUTION: The squeegee and a scoop 20 are moved in connection with the movement of a movable base 1 so that the squeegee is lowered and the scoop 20 is raised at the time of printing, whereas at the time of conveying the ink K, the scoop 20 is lowered before the rise of the squeegee 10 before the movement is reversed after completion of printing, then the scoop 10 is moved forward to the side of the squeegee 10, scoops up the ink K, and is raised concurrently with the rise of the squeegee 10, whereby the scoop 20 conveys the ink K to the printing-starting position without being slidden on the surface of a screen machine plate S. These operations are controlled by a squeegee up/down moving mechanism 12 provided on the base 1, a scoop up/down moving mechanism 22 and a scoop back/forth moving mechanism 29 which is provided in connection with the scoop 20.
