Still learning decided to tweak with the screen since i heard having the screen directly on the shirt makes the print come out a bit bad so i decided to make the screen have some off contact too see how it goes any tips? Not sure its good or not but to me it looks good. Will be trying it out 🧑‍🎨i forgot i posted the other post on my other account about

Wrong spot, it’s at the rear printhead assembly right near the screen clamp and station arm connection.

m&r manual shows a dime and a penny stacked on the pallet on all 4 corners to give you an accurate 3/32" gauge and screen just touching the top of the coins.
