Textile printing apparatus and method

摘要

A textile printing apparatus and method is disclosed. An example textile printing apparatus includes a first printing surface configured to support a first portion of a textile to be printed on. The example textile printing apparatus also includes a second printing surface configured to support a second portion of the textile in substantially a same printing plane as the first portion of the textile. The example textile printing apparatus also includes a slot formed adjacent the second printing surface. For a printing operation, a body of the textile is mounted over the first printing surface, and an inner portion of the textile is pulled through the slot and mounted, over the second printing surface. The printing operation proceeds in substantially the same printing plane onto both the outer printing surface and the inner printing surface without removing the textile during the printing operation.

主权项

1. A printing apparatus, comprising:
a printing board having a printing board width sized to support a full width of an outer surface of a textile to be printed on; a tag board having a tag board width sized smaller than the printing board width to support an inner surface of the textile to be printed on; a slot formed between the printing board and the tag board; and a raised surface of the tag board in substantially a same printing plane as an upper surface of the printing board, the raised surface configured to support the inner surface of the textile to be printed on in substantially a same printing plane as the outer surface of the textile to be printed on, wherein a single printing operation prints anywhere on the full width of the outer surface and on the inner surface of the textile to be printed on without having to remove the textile to be printed on from the printing board and the tag board.
