DTG Platen Loading for Consistent Print Placement
Will the same loading method work for every garment size?
Standardize garment orientation and positioning on the supported platen. Repeated loading trials are more useful than a single perfectly aligned demonstration.
Define the placement reference Specify the print location relative to consistent garment features and check size variation. Choose a platen suited to the print area and garment shape. Follow the machine instructions for working clearance and securing fabric.
Observe several operators Have operators repeat loading and unloading with representative garments. Check wrinkles, accidental contact and position variation. Keep a simple placement guide near the station, and separate unusual garments that need their own handling instructions.
