Thumbs up Screenprinting on Polyester

I have recently been approached by a customer who would like me to print white onto 100% black polyester curtains. The length of each curtain is approximately 20 metres so getting them through my belt dryer probably won't be the safest or most practical option. I was thinking that i'd rely on my flash dryer?? I am also under the impression that polyester cannot be heated to the extent at which plastisol inks need to be in order to fully cure. Would plastisol be the best option or is there a product on the market that i can use as an alternative?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Default Re: Screenprinting on Polyester

After a little bit of digging i've discovered an ink called Texylon that will dry by air and is ideal for polyester and nylon if anyone is interested.
