Default curing process plastisol and garment print

If I'm screen printing one side of a shirt (plastisol), and garment printing the other side, which do I print first? I'm almost positive that the garment print should be done first. The garment print will be cured on a heat press at 355 for 35 seconds. The screen print will be cured in a tunnel dryer. It seems that putting a cured plastisol print under a heat press for that time would end badly. I think there would be less damage if the cured garment print was run through the dryer. Would over-curing the garment print be bad?

But have you heard that it's bad to over-cure a DTG print?

Is both prints going on the sameside of the shirt?
If not use a pillow between the shirt
