Infant/Baby shirts

I am wondering how to go about screen printing baby or toddler shirts? The platen's seem too large. Do I need to purchase a smaller one or is there a way to use the larger ones without stretching out the shirts (if I were even able to stretch them that far)?

Thanks,
Debra

Though it is an extra expense I would recommend acquiring a platen that is a suitable size for the baby clothes. In the long run, ruining product can cost more than the few dollars a new platen would cost.

I agree, the right size pallet will make all the difference in the print job. Stretching garments onto the pallet can result in print distortion when you pull it off.
