Flash Unit of Printing

Flash Unit of Printing

Conveyer is dryer and flash unit. To actually cure the ink, you need a heat source to reach 320 degrees for your ink. If you can reach 320 degrees in 1 second, it's cured. If it's 10 seconds, it's cured.


As long as it reaches 320 degrees, you are good. A flash unit is a unit that you place over your platen (arm that you place on shirt drukken). This flash unit is meant to flash the ink just long enough where it is not cured and it is not wet. This will allow you to print colors on top of colors if needed, and you will need it!

Many people use these units to cure their t shirt bedrukke. This is not wise. If you have a flash unit over a platen, it has to reach 320 degrees to cure the ink. This heat will eventually warp your platens, causing printing problems in the long run. It will also heat your platen up enough that when you put another shirt on it and print, it will semi cure the ink in your screens, causing a clogging and poor t shirt bedrukke.

So buy the flash unit and use it for intended purpose, to flash the ink, if you have to. If I print a single color on a shirt, I will not use a flash unit at all. If it is white printing, then I will. The reason for this is, when you would print on white shirt, flash it, and then when the shirt comes back around to you, it needs a second print.
