Basic Steps for Printing on a White Shirt
OK, the time has come. You have installed the bulk system you have created
a simple image in your favorite graphics program and now you are ready to
ruin a few shirts. Be warned, there is a slight learning curve to printing a shirt and
you must get over the fact some will get ruined. Remember, it is ONLY a shirt.
Even when you’ve become a seasoned pro, it’s a fact of life in the garment
decorating industry.
In the beginning you will have to worry about the print placement and getting
the image in the graphics program coordinated to the correct location on the
shirt.Yourprinterwillalsoneedtobe“brokenin”alittle.Whenyourstinstallthe

Shirtboards
The Fast T-Jet Blazer Express ships with one Standard Adult and one Large (over-
sized) Shirtboard, however, you can purchase additional ones, if needed. Each
Shirtboard is held in the proper position by metal pins screwed into the Platen
that align with holes in the garment holder base. If you have a Screen Printing
background, you may wonder what holds the garment in place. On the Blazer
Express, a shirt just lays on the Shirtboard and friction takes care of the rest.
