Default Using a heat conveyor for a DTG printer?

We have been told about using a heat conveyor for heat setting our prints. Im wondering if this would work. (it is currently being used in a screen printing shop)

Right now, we print on the Brother, then press at 360 for 30 sec.

Im wondering if a heat conveyor would do the same thing...dry it and set it into the material the way the heat press would. My thoughts are...Im not drying ink onto a shirt, Im setting ink absorbed into material. kwim?

I understand the concept, but Im not sure how the conveyor will work. Will it still have the same wash-ability as the pressed image?
