Default Temperature Strips

Anyone ever use temperature strips to gage their flashing or curing?

I too am having problems with white ink on dark shirts ( rough feeling) and a local screen supply guy suggested that it may be a flashing problem. Although from what I have read about white on dark lately, it could be any number of things I am doing wrong. . .

Mix the ink really well...then mix it some more...lol

Lightly pull the first pass just enough to sit the ink on the shirt. Then use a dry stroke to clear it.

Flash

allow a few seconds for the print to cool if you are working on one station.

Then another light coat just hard enough to clear the screen.

Dont push the ink on the first coat in very hard.

Buy a cheap temp gun. You can find them at Harbor freight . I paid $10 for mine on sale.
