12. HEAT CURE Your Finished Print
The final step is to heat cure your finished prints to completely set the ink. All prints
should be cured either through a conveyor dr r or with a heat transfer press set at
335° F (170° C) for 60 - 90 seconds for a print with coloured ink only or for 120-150
seconds for a print also with white ink. To check the temperature of your heat drying
unit use an infrared heat gun. If using a conveyor dryer, run the belt speed very slow
and make sure the garment lays flat on the belt.
For non-white ink prints: If using a heat transfer press, set the pressure to fairly hard.
You can bring the heat element down directly onto the print or you can place a piece of
paper or a Teflon pad over the print.
For white ink prints: If using a heat transfer press, set the pressure to light, so that the
heat element rests on the print (this will allow steam from the drying ink to escape
more easily. Be sure to use a Teflon or Silicon sheet (baking /parchment paper will
suffice) over the garment if the heat transfer press does not have a non-stick surface.
