Hi everyone,
I have a 'Print Gocco' set-up at home, so I print my own designs on t-shirts. I normally use their ink, but have gotten some 'Permaset' this time to try. Has anyone printed at home with Permaset?, and how did you heat set it? The 'Print Gocco' just sets with ironing, I was wondering it it is the same for 'Permaset'? Has anyone used a tumble dryer to set the ink? (May be a dumb question?) Just thought if it worked it would make it a lot quicker when you have a lot of t-shirts to set. Help? Anyone?

Yup, it's a waterbased ink much like any other.

It's not hot enough. A dryer gets to about 70-80 degrees celsius, you need to get to at least 120 (and that low you'd need to iron for about nine minutes).
