This shoe platen will work on all Brother GTX Series Direct to Garment Printers and comes with three different size platen inserts to allow for printing on different size shoes. The Medium and Large Platen Inserts also allow for undermount blocks that can be used to secure the footwear from the bottom should it be desired. An alignment jig is also provided to help place artwork on different styles of shoes.

 

The Mounting Kit is required in order to mount the Shoe Platen Inserts on to the GTX printer. The Mounting Kit uses the same pin setup as the standard GTX Adult Platen that comes with all GTX Printers.

    • Since there is a large number of styles and sizes, it would be almost impossible to provide artwork templates on all of them. But the Shoe Platen Kit comes with the next best thing – the Alignment Jig. The Alignment Jig, made out of a clear piece of plastic, displays guidelines above the shoes to help align the artwork in the graphic software program.

       

      The Shoe Platen Inserts have a square hole cut out directly above the Large Pin on the Mounting Kit. There is a black square block that is mounted to the bottom of the Alignment Jig that fits into the cut out on the Shoe Platen Inserts to align it.

    2. Cover the Shoe Platen insert with double-sided tape (or double-sided platen tape). Make sure there is a hole in the center of the Shoe Platen Insert for the Alignment Jig to be inserted.

    3. Mask off the areas of the shoe that you do not want ink printed on to using standard masking tape or medical tape.
