If you have a heat press, what I do is get the ink basically cured under the flash so it’s able to be moved without the ink going everywhere, then heat press with a teflon sheet at 280 for around 20 seconds, gives you perfectly cured shirts and makes the ink buttery smooth.

This does work, but in my case I am not a fan of the flat feel. I like a slight amount of texture.

I got confused when you said the temperature to cure but then said it needs to be 60-100 degrees above?! Which one is it?
@Ryonet2 жыл бұрын
Laser temp guns are a "reflective reading" of what the surface temp is. It does not actually measure the true surface temp of the ink. For more on this, there is a link in the video for a video done about 2 years ago that dives deep into the subject. Thats why the correlation of a higher read temp VS true surface temp. The laser will always read much hotter than what the true temperature is.

when I cure with my flash the edges are always much cooler than the center and sometimes I need to move the flash over the edges for a bit as well.
@Ryonet2 жыл бұрын
Good morning @CrackShot Screenprinting! This is pretty normal for flashes. Since unlike a conveyor theres no walls on the side to hold in the heat and hold out the influence of the surrounding environment, we naturally lose a bit of heat on towards the edges. You're doing the right thing by being heads up and moving the flash as needed. - JW

Any tips for a flash dryer on water based inks?
@Ryonet2 жыл бұрын
Hey @Banga927, good morning and great question! Most steps will be the same. You'll still need to detach the garment from the platten and you'll still need to measure the temp. However, water based ink takes more time to cure. You may need to raise the flash slightly in order to get the time needed with out burning the garment. I would also try a product called Warp Drive. Warp Drive is a water based ink low cure catalyst. It will help you greatly if you are curing water based with a flash. Here's a link.www.screenprinting.com/products/green-galaxy-warp-drive-low-cure-additive Have a great day and happy printing!

How long would you heat your platen with your flash prior to printing? 🙏🏼
@Ryonet2 жыл бұрын
Hi @Ian Olson. Depends on the flash and and what type of pallets, but overall i would say 20 seconds just to get it warmed up. Get the liquid adhesive nice and sticky, etc... hope that helps. Happy printing!

Question: Can you flash dry the shirt again after the ink has cooled down on the if the shirt that hasn't fully cured?
@Ryonet Жыл бұрын
Hi! Good question! You can re-apply heat to cure a print at any time - BEFORE you wash it. Once washed you cannot re-cure the ink layer. Also, as a side note: There is a time limit for re-curing the ink. Over time the liquids/oils in the ink can leech out if it was not cured the first time. This can make it nearly impossible to re-cure the ink layer. This time limit will change based on garment type and how close to cure the design was.

@Ryonet Жыл бұрын
Great question! The internal temperature of FN Ink needs to reach 260 degrees and hold that for at least 30 seconds for a proper cure. Always test your prints to confirm a proper cure! Reach out to our Support Team on our site anytime as well!

How many seconds under the flash to cure ink??
@Ryonet Жыл бұрын
Hi! Unfortunately, that is a big variable if you are looking to use your flash unit to CURE the final print. It depends on a few factors. 1) How hot your flash gets 2) Ink deposit thickness 3) How far away from the ink is the flash 4) Actual cure temp of the ink being used All we can recommend is that you document your prints and how you used your flash to CURE the ink layer. This will create your standard for your shop.

That distance will change depending on a few variables, the biggest variable being how, delicate is the fabric to heat. But anywhere from 3" to 6" from the platen.
