Sort of. There's no ink that doesn't need to be cured in one way or another, but there are options.

Waterbased inks can be cured with an iron or a heat press (rather than a tunnel dryer), or you can add an air catalyst to the ink. In which case you don't need to do anything but leave it for a few days. They have their own pitfalls though.
