L'un des inconvénients de l'impression sérigraphique est que le papier reste facilement collé à l'écran lorsqu'on relève celui-ci et, également que le fait de descendre le cadre, peut, par déplacement d'air, faire bouger la feuille; afin de lever cette difficulté, on a imaginé la base aspirante ou à vide. Il s'agit d'une table percée de petits trous, dispersés régulièrement tous les un ou deux centimètres.
