Ninety-nine percent of the time there is a problem with the power supply you are connecting to. You are plugging the flash dryer into an outlet with insufficient voltage or amperage.

To be safe, give your flash or conveyor dryer 10 minutes to reach its operating temperature.

Tests indicate that the shirt board will increase to about 140º F after an hour of typical use. This is a benefit as it will decrease your flash time. However, take this increase into account when flashing by checking the ink for tackiness on a regular basis. Adjust the heater away from the shirt board [...]

If the scorch color is just barely noticeable or a very light tan, then it will disappear upon first washing. However, this makes a poor first impression to the customer, so you will want to adjust your settings.

Yes, but it will take twice as long. The water in the inks must be evaporated for a flash or full cure. The moisture-laden air absorbs the infrared energy, and this slows down the ink drying. The solution is to have a combination infrared and convective air heater unit. Consider our Air Flash® heater.

Yes, but this method requires from 30 to 40 seconds to accomplish a full cure of about 320º F, and will reduce your output as you wait for the infrared panel heater to cure the impression. It is more efficient to use a conveyor oven where you pull the garment with the final impression off [...]

Infrared is electromagnetic energy that emits from a hot source. The energy emitting from the source goes through air to hit the first object it "sees"; transferring the energy to the object and heating it up. The sun is a good example, but every object emits some infrared energy. There are a variety of ways [...]
