Hi all, I'm about to inch into screen printing and was thinking of using plastisol inks, but was wondering if a heat press would do the job of curing or what other method is best outside of buying a flash dryer or if a flash dryer is the only way has anyone any ideas on how to build a homemade infrared one. Also, if a heat press is grand for the job what temp should be best. All advice is welcome.
heat press will do the job. But if you have swing away then its even bette, as you can hover the press above the print.

Cheap and effective way is just to buy a heat gun, usually get them online for under £20. Use them all the time on small run jobs. :)

I use a flash dryer and heat press. For the heat press settings I put it to 155 for 20 seconds. If you want a shiny finish use a Teflon sheet but if you want a Matt finish use grease proof/ baking paper.
