About : Drying or Curing
As the shirts are printed
the ink is wet and needs to be properly cured or dried. Shirts are placed
on a conveyor belt which moves them inside the dryer where temperature
is maintained at 980 degrees. The shirts stay inside for about 35-40 seconds.
This process heats the ink to about 350 degrees, which is the optimum
curing temperature.
At the end of the
dryer, a person checks for proper curing of the ink, and quality of
t-shirt printing . Adjustments are made to dryer temperature and/or speed of
the belt as needed.
