I've tried all these options, except for the conveyer heater thing. You know what I found works best? A $30 electric griddle from Walmart. Just throw the transfer (ink side up) right on the hot griddle. Cures so fast.

Very interesting! What time and temperature settings work well for you?

@pixelbat 3 ай бұрын

@@AAPrintSupplyCo I do 350 degrees, and I just watch it and pull it off when it looks right, which turns out to be around 30 seconds or so. You can literally throw the film directly on the hot plate, or on a piece of parchment.

Do I need to ventilate to outside wall on oven method 2? Thanks

@AAPrintSupplyCo Жыл бұрын

Hello, dedicated exhaust ventilation to a window is not required. We advise the use of this purifier to keep the work area clean and free of steam/vapor from production: aaprintsupplyco.com/products/purifier-mini-portable-air-filter?variant=39680750026836

You guys have hands down the best tutorials! Your last tutorial sold me on the hot peel ecofreen film. However, I read the instructions and it said 300-315 f for 60 seconds in the curing oven. My film curled and the result wasn’t pretty. Any tips?

@AAPrintSupplyCo 8 ай бұрын

Hello, I have been curing film for about a minute but using 270 F - that setting should not curl the film

question .. after applying powder on dtf print how long can we wait to cure? I ask because my curing process is done outsdie for ventilation and it would be so time saving if i can print and powder several prints before taking them all outside to cure.

@AAPrintSupplyCo Жыл бұрын

Hello that is a good question, we have not conducted this sort of testing. That being said I would prioritize APPLYING the hot melt powder while the ink is still wet so it can stick to the printed image to the best of it's ability

What is your heat panel temp at when you set it to Level 2 Heat?

@AAPrintSupplyCo Жыл бұрын

Hello, per Vastex they can cannot determine the actual heat for level 2 on this dryer; that being said level HI should run around 750F. Digital temperature control options begin at the larger LittleRed X1 dryer series and up (comes in 18" and 30" belt widths)

You're doing the heatpress melting wrong. :D

Hey there! What methods for using the heat press with DTF curing has been successful for your set up?

@skipperay 9 ай бұрын

Seal the heating element perimeter with 3/4 inch cutout strips of silicone pads. Leave 1 inch vents at the corners. Fire up at 210'C, and for just 60-80s and blow warm air at low to medium velocity around the vents, don't stay in one vent. Also make "silicone pegs" - 1/2inch tiny cutouts to hold the film down to avoid touching the heating element, film flops around as you blow air so pinning around the film corners is a must. This is best done with Teflon mesh at the bottom, so hot air can circulate and cook the ink, pre-heat the plate for at least a minute before first cooking. It works like magic.

$900 for a curing oven??? Thats just ridiculous!

@AAPrintSupplyCo Жыл бұрын

The heat press method will be the most cost effective but for those with volume the efficiency of an oven can really streamline production and increase consistency!
