Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Tri-loc, test print one color at a time while keeping a mental note of what is out, don't move anything until we make it all the way around. Many times only the base needs to be moved. Often times nothing need to move.

we'd have to redraw every time we change the paper currently.

For your marks on the pallet paper set up a screen with all your neck lines and reg mark. Then before adding tack print all the boards (purposely) with a very thinned out ink. Flash it and your done. Keep the screen and you never have to mark your boards again.
I'd think that the base would be off most often as it is typically printed with more pressure than top colors, and as Shelly said, isresponsible for tacking the shirt to the pallet.We do the tape thing for waterbase a lot. Way easier to see where you're at on top of tape than in the shirt.Regging to film makes sense, but typically destroys the film, and at least for our machines, is difficult to determine initial placement in terms of height on the pallet. A permanently marked pallet might be nice, but we'd have to redrawevery time we change the paper currently.I think the most important thing is a pre-reg system, as has been said before countless times. Even if it'snothing more than a lineup table, or just putting the screen in the head and the film on the pallet and lining up thatway.
