You should re-visit the specs on Vastex dryers. If it's an older model EconoRed, it will not have the airflow needed for waterbase.
Of course you still need to use a long enough dryer to give you suficient dwell time under the heat. If your dryer is too short it will not dry/cure unless you set the belt to creep mode...
In the last several years, Vastex has tremendously improved their ability to dry "AND" cure waterbased inks and delicate materials.
A distinct advantage with Vastex is the ability to "grow your dryer" with your business. All of their dryers are modular designs that can be added to at any time in the future.
We have used Vastex dryers over the last 3 years at Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) to print Matsui Discharge and it has worked completely in one pass.
