Curing Your Garments
Finished prints must be heat cured to fully set the ink. Use a Conveyor Dryer or
Heat Press with the following settings:
Light Garments
(With or without using FastBRIGHT)
Cure Time: Approximately 60-90 seconds
with medium to heavy pressure.
Cure Temp: 330°F (166°C)
Dark Garments
(Using FastINK Pretreatment solution)
Cure Time: Approximately 180-240
seconds with medium to heavy pressure.
Cure Temp: 330°F (166°C)
For areas of greater humidity or where shirts are very damp after printing, try
increasing the curing temperature to 350°F and curing time to 120 seconds.
Important Point
All curing times and temperatures ARE RECOMMENDED STARTING POINTS.
Shirts may scorch if cured too long. A Heat Press will provide a more even cure
and, when printing with White ink, you will see less shirt bers through the ink.
Before doing your rst production run, it is important you do a test washing for
proper cure. Variables such as climate and the amount of ink used can extend
cure times. Certain garment fabrics may also require more time. You will have to
nd the cure time that works best for your location and Print Mode preferences.
You should ALWAYS do periodic wash tests as well as test the temperature of
your dryer or Heat Press using an infrared heat gun or Temperature Test Strips.
You MUST not ignore proper curing.
