Reconfigurable support pads for fabric image transfers

This invention is a special printing surface, called a pallet, for direct-to-garment printing. It uses multiple adjustable pads underneath a garment to ensure the fabric lays perfectly flat, even if different parts of the garment have different thicknesses, like a hoodie pocket. The claims specifically describe a version where motors automatically adjust these pads.

Why it matters: The cost and integration of precise micro-actuators and their control systems have improved, making automated multi-point garment leveling more practical since 2023.
