Platen Cover #2 only works with DuoForgePRO
Suitable for Structured 6-Panel Hats (Richardson 112, Baseball Caps)
Get cleaner presses on structured 6-panel caps with a raised center seam. Platen Cover #2 is purpose-built for the DuoForgePRO to support the crown, level the seam area, and help you achieve smooth, vibrant transfers with consistent heat and pressure—especially on popular styles like the Richardson 112 and classic baseball hats.
Overview
6-panel hats often have a pronounced middle seam that can create gaps, lifted edges, or uneven contact during pressing. Platen Cover #2 features a contoured profile that stabilizes the front panel and improves platen-to-patch contact so your design presses flatter and more evenly.
