Printing pockets on the automatic
Hey everyone, I am new to the forums and will do my best to give good tips on good textile printing techniques, but one I have stumbled on is printing pockets on an automatic. We normally do the pockets on the manual and can do up to 6 colors on it, but it becomes really time consuming when you have to do a 1000 shirts. Has anyone experimented on pockets on the auto? What have you come up with to solve this issue? What platen would you recommend?
Re: Printing pockets on the automatic
When i'm printing pockets on the auto, i burn the image center and upside down, and use sleeve pallets and load the pocket on there. other wise you could use your standerd pallets it would just take a while, you have to make sure each lines up and i wouldn't do more then one color the pockets like a double lined jacket and would move after each print, i hope this helps.

Action Engineering offers a pallet that is great for printing on pockets. Yeah they are expensive, especially if you have a 10 station auto but the investment will pay off.
