Until the ink reaches 320 degrees F. You'll probably want to keep the oven temp higher to get the ink at that temp more quickly. You can also get a cheap flash dryer and cure off the press if you don't want to invest in a conveyor dryer.

I have cooked shirts in the oven with success,and can shed some light on the subject. I set my oven on broil and put my shirts on the very bottom rack on a small cookie sheet with the door open 5-6 inches.. I would have it in there for 15-25 seconds, and i would get a full cure every time. however it has its down falls. for one it stinks and fills your kitchen with toxic smoke and eventually causes your oven to smell like ink every time you cook, so I suggest you get an oven to use in the garage or somewhere outside just for shirts.you can probably find someone giving an oven away for free on craigslist. also you better have a timer cuz the shirt will burn very easily so you have to watch the shirt very carefully. but the fool proof way is to get a temp gun and have the laser beam on the shirt the whole time its in the oven, and take it out as soon as the image evenly reaches the intended temperature 320-360 degrees .. good luck!!!!!!
