How to Use PMI #918 Transparent Registration Tape for Multi-Color Jobs

The PMI #918 Transparent Registration Tape is a game-changer for screen printers, especially when dealing with multi-color jobs. Here’s how it can help you achieve perfect registration without wasting shirts:

1. Prepare Your Screen and Garment:
   • Set up your screen and garment on the printing press as usual.
2. Apply the Registration Tape:
   • Cut a piece of PMI #918 Registration Tape and place it over the top of the garment where you will be printing. Ensure it covers the entire print area.
3. Print the First Color:
   • Print the first color onto the registration tape. The transparent tape allows you to see through to the garment, ensuring accurate placement.
4. Check and Adjust Registration:
   • Print subsequent colors on top of the registration tape. If any color is out of alignment, simply wipe off the ink from the tape’s surface. This saves your garments from being ruined by misalignment.
5. Repeat as Needed:
   • Adjust your screens and print again on the same piece of tape until all colors are perfectly registered. The tape’s adhesive is strong enough to stay in place but removes cleanly when you’re done.
6. Final Print:
   • Once the colors are in perfect registration, remove the registration tape. Your garment is now ready for the final print with all colors aligned accurately.

Benefits for Screen Printers:

• Accuracy: Ensures perfect registration for multi-color jobs, eliminating guesswork.
• Cost-Efficiency: Prevents waste by allowing adjustments without ruining garments.
• Time-Saving: Speeds up the setup process by providing a clear method to align colors accurately.
• Clean Removal: The tape removes cleanly without leaving residue, keeping your garments pristine.

Using PMI #918 Transparent Registration Tape, screen printers can achieve professional-quality multi-color prints efficiently and economically, ensuring customer satisfaction with every job.
