The material edges will gather at the seams when the panels are sewn together, hiding the unprinted material and leaving an uninterrupted image. If this still leads to ink gumming the needles during sewing, you can also fade out the image near the edges so that assemblers have a minimal ink deposit to contend with. The most efficient piece-good printing is done on presses with large platens that accommodate as many pieces as possible. When printing on standard textile presses, some printers use oversized platens. The larger the screens and platens the press supports, the more production you will achieve per stroke.
Belt presses are especially well suited for cut-piece printing.
A press that uses a belt instead of platens offers far more space for loading fabric. And the inline configuration of belt presses means that machine formats can be extremely large. Although belt printing has declined in popularity since then, the presses are still is use today and produce the majority of cut-piece prints. But whether you print pieces on a belt printer or standard carousel press, the keys to productivity lie in the engineering of the artwork and the associated layout of the pieces on the belt or platen. Registering the fabric on the press Cut pieces are notched in at least two places.
