Anyone have any tips or tricks for lining up t-shirts for doing pocket prints?
Unlike a front chest print, it seems like there would be very little room for error when trying to line up the pocket perfectly every time.

Also, What can I use for now, other than the pocket attachment for getting these done? I think I read somewhere, somebody uses a ceramic tile inside the pocket itself to raise the pocket off from the platen. Will this work well?

Thanks

print your pallet and flash it. If you use a tile or something like that make sure to change your off-contact

I don't understand. Would you mind explaining that a little bit more.

thanks

Register your print. Do a test print to make sure everything looks right. Print your pallet and then flash it to cure the ink so it doesnt pick up on the shirt. Spray-tack the inside of the pocket; very lightly. Load your shirt onto the pallet, slowly pull the shirt up line the pocket up by looking at the printed pallet and laying the pocket down on the print on the pallet.

ok.. cool, I get it now. That sounds like it will work.
Maybe I should look into the pocket attacment though, so that I don't have to print my pallet.

Laser.
Get a couple of laser pointers and flexible clamps, mount overhead above
the pallet.

We use sleeve pallets as our pocket pallets. All you have to do is burn your positive upside down and in the top center of the screen.

Yep. Only way to do it in my opinion.
