It would help so much. By the wat all the inks i orderes are high opaque. | |  | |  | |
for a flash, i just give it a quick once over, spending maybe 15-20 seconds, keep it moving fast or you will burn your shirts
I have found that a final cure with a heat gun doesn't always work out so great, you would be better off throwing it in your oven (standard electric house oven works)
I bake my shirts at 400 degrees for about 1:30 to 1:45 and haven't had one wash out yet
this high opaque ink works, but I find i'm sore after printing with it... it has the consistency of peanut butter
