[@ryanmoor6267]

Great job on this Colin! Love to see the EDU content, thanks for jumping on it Robb and Ryan too!

[@leviteapparel]

LOVE THE PRESENTATION GOOD JOB

[@Ryonet]

Thank you! We're just getting started, there's so much info around this topic!

[@ronaldpeters5483]

Colins the man! Thanks for sharing this information.

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

[@Ryonet]

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 gel the ink under the flash for an underbase, is it supposed to still come off your finger a little bit? Every time I do it to where it doesn’t come off, it ends up being over flashed. If I leave it a bit wet, then I’m fine. S

[@heatherarneson3814]

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

[@MasterScreenPrints]

Thanks for the video. I had stretched some of my shirts and was under the impression that it was not dry enough. Thanks man, great video!

[@Tim.McElheny]

GREAT VIDEO!

Does this work with something like 100% polyester?

[@Ryonet]

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?

[@Ryonet]

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.

Nice video, great information! Any suggestions for curing with a heat press? Time and temp for FN ink?

[@Ryonet]

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?

[@cyrusc4]

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

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?

[@BitetheWorld1]

so what is the best to cure the ink Flash dryer vs Heat press ?

[@Ryonet]

Both works!

[@Darkflight5]

Ryonet do different fabrics cure at different times?

[@T-giofficial20]

Wowww good job

[@LonsoHD]

still helping at 2021 and u dropped this video on my birthday lmaoo

[@Ryonet]

Lol happy birthday! 🎉

[@danielmullins572]

I would love videos on water-based curing through electric dryers.

[@colinhuggins6164]

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.

Thanks a lot 🙏 Much support from 🇿🇦 ZAR- Durban Rich Future by DSK Clothing ❤

"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. 🤔

[@T-giofficial20]

Wowww good job
