Apparatus for use with a printing device, the apparatus comprising:

• a first part comprising:
• a holder to hold an edge holder strip for holding an edge of a print target on a platen of the printing device;
• a first structure defining a first hole passing through the first part for receiving a screw;
• and
• a first surface;
• and
• a second part attachable to the printing device, the second part comprising:
• a second structure defining a second hole for receiving the screw via the first hole, the second structure forming threads in the second hole;
• and
• a second surface slidable along the first surface in a direction having an oblique angle with respect to an angle at which the screw is received.

A printing system, comprising;

• a platen for supporting a print target;
• a print target holder sheet extending across the platen, for holding the print target to the platen;
• holder devices holding opposing ends of the print target holder sheet, at least one of the holder devices comprising:
• a first part holding an end part of the print target holder sheet, the first part comprising a first surface;
• a second part fixed to a position at an end of the platen, the second part comprising a second surface corresponding to the first surface of the first part;
• and
• an adjustable fixing mechanism, the adjustable fixing mechanism being adjustable to fix the first surface to the second surface at different positions along the first direction, the second surface being slidable along the first surface in a first direction having an oblique angle with respect to a plane of the platen,
• wherein the adjustable fixing mechanism comprises a screw passing through the first part into a threaded hole in the second part.
