tunnel dwell time and shirts may have to go through two or three times.

Light Garments

(With FastBRIGHT)

Cure Time: Approximately 120-180 seconds

(With FastCOLOR)

Cure Time: Approximately 35-60 seconds

Dark Garments

(Using FastINK Pretreatment solution)

If you have any washability issues increase the time. If you experience scorching

on certain shirt brands, reduce the temperature and cure longer.

For areas of greater humidity or where shirts are very damp after printing, try

increasing the curing temperature to 350°F and add approximately 30 seconds

to curing times listed above.

Important Point

All curing times and temperatures ARE RECOMMENDED STARTING POINTS. It is

your responsibility to nd the cure time that works best for your location and Print

Mode preferences.

Variables such as climate and the amount of ink used can extend cure times.

Certain garment fabrics may also require more time. Even seasonal changes

may effect already established times and temperatures.
