The invention relates to a printing table arrangement, wherein a printing table is configured such that a substrate to be printed can be fed by means of a feed unit, the position of the substrate can be adjusted relative to a print pattern, the print pattern and the substrate can be moved relative to each other in the position in which the same are adjusted to each other, a printing medium can be applied to the substrate by means of a print roller, the print pattern and the printed substrate can be moved relatively away from each other again, if necessary, the printed substrate can be checked and the printed substrate can be led away again, wherein at least two printing tables (3, 4) are disposed next to each other particularly in a mutual frame (2) such that respective substrates (11, 12) can be fed, printed, and led away again in parallel. Preferably, the invention provides that with at least two adjacent printing tables (3, 4) the region between both printing tables (3, 4) is free of any guide, mounting, and movement elements, optionally also of testing elements such that if required, substrates of different widths are processed, including widths that are larger than the widths of the dimensions of a single printing table (3, 4).
A device and a method for processing flat substrates, such as circuit boards or the like to be printed, is provided. The substrate can be fed resting on a transport device on two opposite side edge regions, can be first lifted from below for the purpose of processing through supports and pressed against corresponding hold-down pieces in the side edge regions, and can be clamped on the corresponding side edges of the substrate in this position, resting on the supports, between two clamping strips, whereupon the hold-down piece can be lowered to the side away from the substrate and the clamping strip and further below the region of the upper side of the substrate thus loaded, such that full-surface processing can take place.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR APPLYING MEDIA TO FLAT SUBSTRATES
The invention relates to a device (1) for applying media to flat substrates (2), especially printed circuit boards, said device comprising a printing device for applying media to the substrate (2) during a printing method, an optical monitoring device for checking the arrangement and/or alignment of the substrate (2) in relation to the printing device, and a dispenser (10) for the additional application of media to the substrate (2). According to the invention, the dispenser (10) is fixed in relation to the optical monitoring device.
