Echo2 Available Platen Options
All the available snap-on platens and easy tables that Echo2 printer is equipped with. Their distinctive shapes and sizes, plus their respective applications.
TexJet echo2 has 11 platen options that snap on magnetically and range in shape and size. Among them, you may find one of the largest printing areas in the DTG market, plus a platen for printing on canvas shoes!
Most of the platens come with an adjustable frame system, destined to keep both thin and thick garments flat, offering the best printing quality possible. If platen comes without a frame, it’s strongly recommended to use fabric glue, in order to keep the garment from moving while printing.

Easy Tables
Screen and Digital Mix is an innovative printing technique Polyprint introduced in 2012 and allows TexJet users to combine the benefits of both Screen and Digital printing. For this reason, special platens equipped with the proper mechanism and adaptors that distinguish them for the above ordinary platens have been created, in order for them to be compatible with this specific process. These are listed below:
- 14×30 cm (5.5”x11.8”) + Frame
- 27×32 cm (10.6”x12.6”) + Frame
- 27×40 cm (10.6”x16.3”) + Frame
- 30×45 cm (11.8”x17.7”)
- 34×52 cm (13.4”x20.5”) + Frame
- 41×60 cm (16.1”x23.6”)
Notes: All the above platens are manufactured specifically for the Hybrid technique; hence they are equipped with the proper mechanism and adaptors that are adjusted in the arms of the screen printing machine.
It is strongly recommended not to use the frames of the easy tables, because there is a high chance of moving the fabric and disrupting the print, during the transportation from the printer on to the screen printing machine and vice versa. For this reason, fabric glue is essential, in order for the garment to stay put and flat.
Tip: Although there is a variety of platens that you can choose from, if you have a specific application that requires a platen with different dimensions that will better accommodate your needs, a custom platen option is available!
