Unlock expanded printing versatility with the Epson Additional Medium Garment Platen, a precision accessory designed to maximize the efficiency, accuracy, and overall quality of your DTG workflow. Sized at 14" x 16", this platen is ideal for mid‑size garments—think standard tees, hoodies, lightweight jackets, and blends—where you want a balanced footprint that delivers bold graphics without sacrificing loading ease or print alignment. Built to endure the demanding pace of professional shops, it provides consistent heat distribution, reliable registration, and a flat, uniform surface that minimizes ghosting and edge distortion. Whether you’re expanding your catalog to include more varied apparel or running high‑volume production with tight turnaround times, this platen integrates with compatible Epson printers to extend your capabilities, improve throughput, and help you achieve studio‑quality results on every garment. The result is cleaner separations, smoother skin tones, and richer color depth across multiple print runs, all while preserving substrate integrity and reducing platen marks that can affect later designs. For printers in busy environments, the Additional Medium Garment Platen delivers predictable performance, repeatable results, and a streamlined printing process that lets you focus on design, not setup.

How to install Epson Additional Medium Garment Platen (14" x 16")

To integrate this platen into your Epson DTG workflow, follow these guidelines to ensure proper alignment and consistent results. Power down your printer and allow it to cool before handling the platen. If your model uses a removable platen or an adjustable mounting frame, remove the current platen or open the mounting points as described in your printer’s manual. Carefully position the 14" x 16" platen so that it sits flush against the mounting surface, ensuring it is square and fully seated in the guides. Secure the platen with the appropriate fasteners or locking mechanism provided by your printer’s accessory kit, making sure there is no wobble or gap that could affect print alignment. Once mounted, perform any required calibration or alignment steps in your printer software to account for the new bed and to ensure precise image placement on garments. Finally, run a test print on a representative garment to verify even heat distribution, accurate color reproduction, and edge-to-edge fidelity before launching production runs. If your workflow includes multiple platen sizes, confirm that your printer’s auto-switch or print mode settings are updated to recognize the new bed dimensions for optimal results.
