Easy Tables
Screen and Digital Mix is an innovative printing technique Polyprint introduced in 2012 and allows TexJet users to combine the benefits of both Screen and Digital printing. For this reason, special platens equipped with the proper mechanism and adaptors that distinguish them for the above ordinary platens have been created, in order for them to be compatible with this specific process. These are listed below:
- 14×30 cm (5.5”x11.8”) + Frame
- 27×32 cm (10.6”x12.6”) + Frame
- 27×40 cm (10.6”x16.3”) + Frame
- 30×45 cm (11.8”x17.7”)
- 34×52 cm (13.4”x20.5”) + Frame
- 41×60 cm (16.1”x23.6”)
Note: All the above platens are manufactured specifically for the Hybrid technique; hence they are equipped with the proper mechanism and adaptors that are adjusted in the arms of the screen printing machine.
- It is strongly recommended not to use the frames of the easy tables, because there is a high chance of moving the fabric and disrupting the print, during the transportation from the printer on to the screen printing machine and vice versa. For this reason, fabric glue is essential, in order for the garment to stay put and flat.
- Tip: Although there is a variety of platens that you can choose from, if you have a specific application that requires a platen with different dimensions that will better accommodate your needs, a custom platen option is available!
