Nice video, great information! Any suggestions for curing with a heat press? Time and temp for FN ink?
@Ryonet 4 жыл бұрын
270° - 280° for 20-30 seconds. Light to medium pressure. Wash test to confirm. You can test for lower temps, but always perform a wash test to confirm cure has been reached. Heat absorption should happen at 270° for 20 seconds, but not all heat presses show temp the same and re-heat at the same rate. Does that help?

@@Ryonet Yes it does. I appreciate the reply, I'm gonna give that a try!

how long does it need to be at cure temperature? or does it just need to reach that temperature?

How do you cure on a non-100% cotton shirt. For example, how would a 60% cotton and 40% polyester garment compare in technique and time difference?

OK you made a good point, what if you don’t have a doughnut probe ?

Hi! If you don't have a Donut Probe then you learn to extrapolate data and do more testing to find what reflective temperature read equates to full cure. Hopefully with the data shown in the video you will have a stronger starting point for your testing.

When we do our larger video on cure, we will talk about curing water base and plastisol through both the Aeolus dryer as well as a Riley Cure.

Does this work with something like 100% polyester?
@Ryonet Жыл бұрын
Hello there. Yes, a flash dryer is used to flash inks or can be used to fully cure. When dealing with 100% poly, you will want to use either a low cure ink or a poly specific ink in order to combat the dye migration that happens when printing on polyester garments. Hope this helps! Please reach out to us via phone or through the chat on www.screenprinting.com if you have any other questions. Thanks Nick from Ryonet & www.screenprinting.com

What was the name of the company you purchased your shirt from?

Hi @Tammy Saldana. if you are referring to the tee that Colin is wearing in the video. I believe that tee is a print he did for internal testing. If you wondering about the blank, it most likely was an Allmade blank. hope that helps.

"I'm going to demonstrate with both of these flashes, the difference between power output, how fast things come up to temp, and how stable, how quickly things become stable [...]" ... but you only demonstrated on one of the flashes. 🤔
