What this tool is for

This is a single shirt platen with a listed 16 × 18-inch work surface. The shaped board supports a garment while you position the screen above it. Choose the size by laying out the shirt body and design together. You need enough support beneath the print while leaving space to load and remove the garment.

Fit and buying advice

The listing explicitly excludes the platen bracket. Identify a bracket that attaches the board to your actual press arm before ordering. A smaller platen can be easier to insert into a small shirt, while a larger board can support artwork that extends beyond this one.

Questions about this tool

Will the platen connect directly to my press arm?

The bracket is sold separately. Compare your press arm and the bracket's attachment points before you buy.

Does 16 × 18 inches equal the printable image size?

It is the size of the support board. The frame, platen shape and press travel also affect the working area.

Should I use it for a sleeve?

Compare a narrow sleeve platen if the sleeve cannot lie flat over the shoulder-shaped board.
