Abstract
A cleaning device for cleaning a screen plate used in a screen printing is disclosed. The cleaning device comprises a base structure which can be placed just below the screen plate. A press member, such as a cleaning blade or cleaning roller is carried on the base structure. The press member has a contact portion which contacts a lower surface of the screen plate to scrape off any foreign things from the lower surface when the base structure is moved in a direction parallel with a major surface of the screen plate. In some embodiments, a cleaning paper wet with a solvent is intimately put between the contact portion of the press member and the lower surface of the screen plate to promote the cleaning effect.
