Let me get this straight (no pun intended)....First....are your pallates rectangular or square, are you manual or automatic...and do if you are a manual printer, do you push or pull with your squeegee and where do you hold it? Secondly are they warping from front to back with refernce to say standing in front of the head looking toward the pedestal?...are are they really warping from side to side. Lastly..what is your average screen tension? I ask all of this because its been long known that palletes on automatics get warped from end to end in shops with very low tensions...because off-contacts are high and he correpsonding level of squeegee pressure is way too high. It pushes down too hard on the unsupported ends of teh pallete...warping it. What comes with this problem is poor ability to place ink precisely on the surface of the garment....so you have to flash and repeat as a way of life. The repeated heat and excess pressure warp pallates. On manual presses...the pallettes can warp side to side more because your hand pressure tends to be toward the outside of the squeegees.
