T-Shirt dryers - essential kit for screen printers

When a t-shirt printed with plastisol ink is not cured properly, the printed image on the garment will break down very quickly during washing. While start-up screen printing businesses may choose to use a flash cure unit to do the final cure of the print initially, it is important to realise that doing this should be a short term measure. Also keep in mind that there are certain limitations when using a flash cure unit to complete the final stage of curing.

The first such limitation is that you should only cure smaller images in this way and certainly not a printed image on the garment that reaches the limits of the spot curer's size. It is also best not to try to dry very large solid areas of print with only a flash dryer.

As a specialist manufacturer of screen printing dryers, presses and spot curers, the Vastex range offer exceptional value for money to those with a serious interest in pursuing a career in screen printing. The Vastex range of screen printing dryers offer various models and within the range you will find tunnel dryers that are ideal for drying products such as plastisol printed t-shirts, water-based inks and discharge inks. The range of infra red tunnel dryers offer plenty of choice and scope for growth as most models are upgradeable.

There is an infra red screen printing dryer suitable for everything from the entry level t-shirt printer all the way up to high production shops thanks to the variety of models and options. With a model such as the DriBox screen print dryer to suit the smallest t-shirt printing business that has limited space available to the BigRed t-shirt dryer capable of curing both plastisol and water-based inks in high production shops, you can't go wrong with the quality and upgradeability that Vastex infra red tunnel dryers offer.
