You better hope not. If if washes off the shirt, it'll wash into the other clothes.

You got it. The ink has to reach 320-350 degrees ALL THE WAY THROUGH. You need to invest in a laser temp gun. Or simply do a stretch test. The ink shouldn't crack at all when stretched.

I'm still relatively new to plastisol, but I'm curing with a flash as well and a good way to tell if it's cured is to see if the fabric warps around the design, or if the design stretches with the fabric. That's what everyone means by if it "cracks" it's not cured. It took me a few times to figure that one out.
should ink rub onto fingers if its cured?
