PURPOSE: To obtain a screen printing machine capable of continuously performing multicolor printing by putting the advantages of both of a pressure printing system and a rotary printing system to practical use.

CONSTITUTION: A drum 9 having a negative 16 mounted thereon and a pressure belt 10 are in a partial surface contact state. Printing paper is sent into the gap between the drum and the belt driven in synchronous relationship to be held between both of them in the close contact state with the negative. A tension roller 22 is moved to bring the pressure belt into close contact with the drum and printing paper is brought into contact with the negative under pressure to perform screen printing.
