Q
how to cure screen printed ink
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Curing screen printed ink is essential for durability and quality. The process involves drying the ink so it’s fully set on the fabric. Plastisol ink, commonly used in screen printing, requires curing at around 320°F (160°C) for 1-2 minutes. This can be achieved through a conveyor dryer, which ensures even heat distribution. For home setups, a flash dryer or a heat press can be used, although attention to temperature and time is crucial to prevent scorching. Water-based inks air dry but can be heat-set for added durability. Always test your curing method on a similar fabric to ensure quality before proceeding with the final print.
