I am not sure what type of machine you have but we are using a brother andan anajet and for the light colored shirts no white ink we do 359 for 30 seconds and with white ink 330 for 90 seconds.i just need some ideas of how long everyone cures a light colered shirt with 2 color passes at 720x720.My prints are fading after 1st wash.I was doing 1.5 each pass for a total of 3 minutes.help
Wow Teresa, that is not very long for the dupont inks with a white underbase. Your cure with a white base should be twice that. How are they washing with that time ?
The issues with some of the Bright Inks have long ago been resolved, we had some surface tension issues that were manifesting themselves mostly in the amount of maintenance required. Never has washfastness been an issue. Conversely, we saw a large migration of T-Jet users to our ink sets during the first half of the year when they were not able to get inks from their normal source, and so far, they seem to be sticking around (the number of folks on the forum expressing concerns was perhaps 5 or 6 - about 1/2 a percent of the users of our inkset - several would be a bit of a reach). If you were to read thorugh this forum you will find tenfold that many folks having washfastness issues with the D-brand color ink sets - which was our main reason for not using them as our color ink set.You should be able to get the dupont from mesa. I know several people from the dtg forum have gone back to the dupont that were using the coleman inks.
