Which Type Platen Inserts Are Available for Touchdown Platen?
Touchdown Platen uses the standard platen steam & adjustment features of the Brother® GT printers. But what makes the Touchdown Platen different than other platens is the multi-purpose T-Base as shown to the right. The T-Base has three distinct points that allows the GT users to use multiple platen inserts at the same time. T-Base has holes strategically placed throughout it to maximize the platen inserts available. A GT user also has the ability to level the T-Base by adjusting the thin wall inserts on the bottom of the T-Base.
