Donny, This was a custom from championship. had more stretch then i care for on a logo. Just a pain trying to figure out exact amount to make everything perfect!!

Yeah, we used that imperial cardboard cloth!lol What the hell is that stuff?

Printing is done on specially treated and undyed 3045 Ultra.
Did you use the stretch lines on the perimeter of the cloth (in the white border area)?

Yeah Rick, used the lines but what really helped was a straight edge across the table placed on the yard marks. Every little tug just effected
so many of the lines. Ultra does have some stretch to it!

PM'd you a tip that may help next time you get one of those fine printed beds to install. :lol:

Can you share it? I would be interested in hearing any helpful info.

With printed beds - some are rather simple such as a centered logo so not too difficult for a 1-person install.
On a more complex print such as a football field with many gridlines it's easier to line up by stretching opposite
sides at the same time (2-person install). Having the table owner watch the print as it's stretched for evenness
helps prevent that "this line is a little off" concern once 4 sides of the cloth are attached.

Here's a rather complex install with circles, silhouettes in the center and a diagonal line color split
but still a somewhat easier install compared to the football field grid.

Thanks Rick, Will try next time!

No worries.
I'm sure a lot of guys work solo but sometimes it's less frustrating to bring in some
extra hands and eyes with the printed stuff.
