[Key Print Co](https://blog.keyprintco.com/blog/author/key-print-co) Dec 3, 2021 12:00:00 AM It would come as no surprise that the most expensive part of screen printing is the time and labor it takes to execute each job. And among the most time-consuming aspects: cleaning, burning, and reclaiming the screens, especially after a large job. But, what if you could offer your clients an excellent additional product to their left-chest print order *and use the same screen* *you already made* to do it? This will result in higher profits for you, and a happier client, WOW'd by your services! Which at the end of the day, is what will make your business stand out above the rest. ![Screen Shot 2021-12-02 at 11.02.35 AM](https://blog.keyprintco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202021-12-02%20at%2011.02.35%20AM.png?width=439&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-12-02%20at%2011.02.35%20AM.png)The only thing you need?

And the best part is that resetting your print station for the Captain Platen Kit is simple and fast!

To do this, you can simply load the blank hat into the Captain Platen and place masking tape or painter's tape over the print surface area. Then, do however many test prints necessary to place and center the design. After this, you are all set to print the hat order *without* the need for reclaiming and burning a new screen!   Depending on the volume of orders your shop does, and how many stations your screen print press has, the Captain Platen Kits for Screen Print come in a [Single Station](https://keyprintco.com/collections/all/products/the-captain-platen-sp-kit-single-station), [Four Station](https://keyprintco.com/collections/all/products/captain-platen-kit-screen-printing-four-station), and [Six Station](https://keyprintco.com/collections/all/products/the-face-mask-sp-kit-six-station-1) set up.
