Re: Having trouble with left chest prints
Hmm. . That'll do it!
Once you establish that all of the pallets are balanced and straight, go out and buy a new metal tsquare or a screen printers tsquare (you can find them for $30 on eBay).
-Instead of using the tsquare to line up the screens stencil with the pallet, get a sharpie and draw a series of straight lines across your pallet.
-Before you do anything with the screen, tape your film positive to the pallet STRAIGHT with the lines that were drawn, then register the screen to the film positive on the pallet.
Pocket shirts are nearly impossible to mess up if you're using a Pocket Master attachment or sleeve pallet to print the pockets with. If you don't have a Pocket Master, check your supplier or eBay. . They're a life savor.
Personally, I wouldn't make any of our printers accountable for the goods. Even though he/she messed up. As a business owner, I understand. . 72 out of 150 shirts is A LOT replace.
Ask yourself this. . You've mentioned you have an experienced printer working for you. . How did 72 out of 150 shirts get past him/her misprinted?
If you find you're still having this issue after checking all of the variables, the only thing left to look at is the experience of the printer. I know good help is hard to find, especially in a high volume operation. Depending where you're located, perhaps you can send this worker out for training before replacing?
