Before using platen, remove protective sheet from platen adhesive sheet.
Mount t-shirt or other material on platen. Open lid and place platen on platen posts. Close lid.
TIP: Material should be completely adhered to platen with platen adhesive sheets to keep material from shifting.
TIP: When adhesive sheet is no longer sticky, peel off and replace. (Adhesive sheets sold separately. )

TIP: For large open areas of design, you may find it necessary to be more generous with ink.

Lift lid and remove screen. Wipe any excess ink from screen and rinse screen thoroughly with water. Do not allow ink to dry on screen.
TIP: Ink can be reused by scraping excess back into container.
TIP: To keep ink from drying in screen while in use, lightly spritz with water.
TIP: When using the same screen design for multiple objects, flood the design on the screen with ink to prevent drying out until next use on same project.
WARNING: Do not allow ink to dry in screen. This will cause permanent damage to screen.
For multicolored designs, change screens and repeat flooding and printing steps for each color. Design must be dry to the touch before printing next layer. Do not remove article from platen between printing different colors or you will lose registration.
