ABSTRACT The invention provides a method of applying a design by a printing process to anexpanse of material which is dimensionally unstable, in particular genuine tanned leather and synthetic leather, which method includes the steps of adhesively applying the material to a rigid backing plate to define a pictorial area where the material adheres to the backing plate; providing adjustable key means on a print table of a stencil or screen printing apparatus, to demarcate a selected position for the backing plate where a print plate of the printing apparatus will produce a printed image in a desired location on the pictorial area; positioning the backing plate in the demarcated position with reference to the key means; and printing a printed image in the desired locality on the pictorial area. The key means is preferably a displaceable base plate which can be placed in a desired position on the print table. The base plate has keying pins to engage with keying apertures in a backing plate. To achieve an accurate placement of successive images where a multi-colour design is to be printed, a transparent overlay sheet is provided over the pictorial area, and a trial image is printed on the overlay sheet, whereupon the position of the base plate is adjusted with reference to the trial image.
