Stencil printing machine

A stencil printing machine for printing sheets by a stencil sheet formed of a resin film and a substrate, said substrate having a plurality of holes at a predetermined interval along at least one side thereof and a cut perpendicular to one side thereof, comprising:

• a perforating section for perforating the stencil sheet to have a perforated portion;
• a printing drum having outer and inner peripheral surfaces, on the outer peripheral surface of which said stencil sheet perforated at said perforating section is wrapped with said resin film inside, and, after removal of the substrate from said resin film thus wrapped, printing being started by passing ink supplied to the inner peripheral surface, through the perforated portion of said resin film remaining on said outer peripheral surface;
• a pressing member for pressing the sheets one by one against said printing drum during printing;
• separating means for separating and discharging said substrate wrapped around said printing drum prior to starting printing, said separating means being a rotatable roller having a plurality of engaging members which engage with the holes of the substrate so that the substrate is torn off at the cut and separated from the resin film by rotating the roller;
• and
• a resin film removing section for removing said resin film from said printing drum after completion of printing.
