I did this probably about 7 years ago on a tjet 2. I held it down with masking tape. It was on the koozies that have seams on the sides so you could flatten them down rather then the foam ones. Before printing I had to create a template in fast artist so I knew where exactly the art would print at.
How to print on a koozie
I have a bunch of blank white koozies I plan on printing on. My question is, has anyone diene it on a t jet? And how did you secure the koozie to the platen?

Awesome. Thanks. That was my plan. I have the "baby t shirt" platen. So I it fits nice, I can tape it down easily on that. I have created the template already too. Thanks for the answer

Worked like a charm. Burned a koozie or 2 before I realized, the poly pretreat absorbs into the foam under the outer poly layer. So I had to be sure to allow enough time to dry

Very nice!Same idea, on a Veloci-Jet XL Printer, as Billy described.

I didn't print white on them. I put the poly pretreat on them because they are polyester. I wanted to make sure the ink stayed nice and bright after curing.
Ok. I totally read past poly and just read pretreat.I didn't print white on them. I put the poly pretreat on them because they are polyester. I wanted to make sure the ink stayed nice and bright after curing.
On another note, one customer wanted their website on the bottom of the koozie.... People find any possible way to make a simple job more difficult.
Well I was perplexed on how to get it on a platen. And it dawned on me... Put the koozie on a full (unopened) can, turn it upside down and you have a koozie platen. If you want to print on the bottom anyway.
