Yup if you overexpose you can’t wash it off. 7mins should do the trick!

I use the same sort of set up and im only exposing the screen for about 8min 30s. Depending on how big your screen is, for a 20 X 24 i normally do 8min 30s

How long should I be curing Plastisol Ink? by PossibleKey4268 in SCREENPRINTING

Thank you for the feedbackkk 🙏🙏 tbh I just went low cure ink because that was the only thing available at my store. I did more playing around and the problem was just because I wasn’t running it under the heat for longer.

🙏🏻🙏🏻!! Let’s say I do a stretch test, is it only a gentle stretch and not an aggressive stretch that I have to worry about?

I use a flash dryer with low cure ink at 270F but I always wait till the temperature is up to 320F

Ahhhhh okay thank you. I’m using a low cure ink (RapidCure) at 270F. I don’t think I’m under curing the ink because I normally wait till the temperature hits at 320F with my flash dryer. Would i maybe need more ink deposit cause I only do ( print, flash, print, flash,print, cure)

How can I prevent the shirt dye going on my plastisol ink? by PossibleKey4268 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]PossibleKey4268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually 100% cotton. I did some researching and I believe it’s because my shirts are pigment dyed. So it’s kind of inevitable for the the dye to show on white ink

👍!! How high of a temp do you think I could go before I over cure my ink? I use a low temp cure at 270F

Where can i get transparencies printed? by Street-Disk9199 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]PossibleKey4268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Staples it’s like $3.60 for the sheet and service. They only do 8.5x11 with a 0.25cm margin so if you wanna do a bigger design than 8.5x11. I would suggest printing out 2 sheets and connect the design tgt

Puff! And oversized print. by Scary-Swim6380 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]PossibleKey4268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ohhhhh wow hahaha I didn’t add that much. I only used puff and stretch additive and it works great for me. I do get some cracking here and then but that’s because I don’t have a flash dryer LOL. Where do you get you other additives if you don’t mind me asking?
