DIY all over printing (belt printer) solution It just goes to show you that you don't need a $1 million printer or pay $5 an item to get all over printing done.
Was surfing the net today and came across a guy doing it in his basement with a screen, a couple of clamps and a table.

Re: DIY all over printing (belt printer) solution Pretty cool! Yeah they also sell "oversized / all over printing pallets for automatic/manual presses. On a flat press like that (mainly used for poster printing), you would be limited to 1 color printing, unless you didn't care for registration. I bet squeegeeing that large of a screen was a pain!!

Re: DIY all over printing (belt printer) solution Pulling a squeegee that big is definitely not fun. You'll feel it in your back and arms the next day.lol. I recently set up my press to print like that. You can see on his stack of shirts that ink coverage is also an issue when printing all over. It is extremely hard to get a solid print.

Re: DIY all over printing (belt printer) solution Is there a setup I can buy for my manual screen printing station that will print registered all over or oversized and if so, where can I get it?
