Hi everyone,
Ironing each shirt for a few minutes to heatset the images did a good job preventing fading in my testing, but frankly it's not enjoyable. I'm now interested in curing ovens. Space is kind of limited in my set up, are there small ovens with belt feeds that can be put on a counter? If anyone could give me any on price, recommend brands, sizes of units, or links to any informative sites, it'd be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent

I assume you mean the conveyor dryer. What budget you have? Are you planning to expand your business in the near future? And what size you are looking for?

The price on the dryer is starting from $1500 up, for a home base or small business, some 5 ft dryer is good enough. My customer had a very good feedback on the Workhorse product. And they had a compact dryer is below $3000.

You may take a look on this.

Beside I for my opinion, I would stay away on the used equiment, especially on the dryer, cause you don't want part of the ink is cure but part is not. Plus finding the heat elements is kinda headache.

HTH.
Hon

following hon263's link led me to this 58pg59

the top right device would seem to fit my budget better than a conveyor belt system, as I could just finish a shirt and set it on the table under that curing system. I googled and couldn't find any information on them specifically, this brand. Does anyone have experience with this sort of unit that they could discuss here? I'm curious to the amount of time needed for it to heatset an item, and if it would even work for screenprinting.
Thanks.
