• a frame defining a printing screen-receiving opening;
• a frame fastener for selectively securing the frame to a surface;
• adjustable positioners, carried by the frame, comprising printing screen-cooperating elements cooperable with sides of a printing screen so to enable the printing screen to be positionable in first and second directions, said first and second directions being transverse to one another;
• and
• said adjustable positioners comprising a series of cam devices rotatably mounted to the frame and having a printing screen edge-camming surface.

A method of printing an image of multiple color upon a substantially flat surface, the method comprising:

• providing an image printing apparatus of the type comprising:
• a frame defining a printing screen-receiving opening;
• a frame fastener for temporarily securing the frame to a surface;
• and adjustable positioners, carried by the frame, adapted to be cooperable with sides of a printing screen;
• selectively securing said image printing apparatus adjacent a surface;
• mounting a printing screen within the printing screen-receiving opening, said mounting step comprising the step of positioning, using the positioners, the printing screen in first and second directions, said first and second directions being transverse to one another, the printing screen having first, second, third and fourth sides, said first side adjacent said second and fourth sides and opposite said third side;
• printing a first colored image upon the surface using the printing screen;
• removing the printing screen from the frame without readjusting preselected ones of said adjustable positioners;
• mounting a further printing screen to the frame and aligning the further screen with the first colored image by contacting the further screen with said non-readjusted positioners;
• and
• printing a second colored image.
