    I stack print side up and have the cart behind me to the right, load and unload at the same station on an auto. Oven right next to the cart. If I don't my index is way too long and my left hip gets hit. When you got to keep a machine moving and you are loading and unloading yourself on a single rotation print... for me its the only way. You are killing it. Love your videos bro

    Great channel with great tips. if your shop is small, and your press is not square and straight due to obstructions, using the bar that the platten is attached to as a sight reference for straight helps. I use center registration on screens , from a center line drawn down the center of the platen as Lee showed, then the screens are straight to my line of sight for best chance to achieve a straight print in a shop that may not be straight ( my press sits crooked in my shop and to my dryer but allowed for best spacing with flash and a doorway). Great explanation Lee on what seems simple but can be the most challenging part, Quality.

    Be careful with using the side seams to judge straightness, a lot of side seams are sewn very sloppy and twisted. I've seen it on everything from cheap shirts to Bella+Canvas to Alternative Apparel. Some are so uneven that when you wear the shirt the side seam lands partway into your back on one side and partway into your front on the other. Checking straightness from the shoulders and armpits is a way better method.

    I have never stacked my shirts like this. I stack the opposite...If I'm printing the front of the shirt, that's what side is up. Makes no sense to have the side you're printing face down. BTW 25+ years in the industry. I don't even have to look at the stack of shirts....just grab and go
