Screen Printing Drying Machine

A screen printing flash dryer plays a critical role in multi-color printing by quickly gelling the underbase or first ink layer before the next color is applied. Plastisol ink requires heat to reach a gel stage so the following layers do not smear or mix. The flash dryer uses infrared heating elements or quartz tubes to deliver intense, even heat to the print surface within seconds. Its adjustable stand allows operators to set the heating distance for different garment thicknesses, ensuring consistent results without scorching the fabric. Digital or analog temperature controls help maintain predictable curing performance for various ink types. Using a flash dryer significantly boosts production efficiency because printers can immediately move to the next color without waiting for full curing. This reduces workflow downtime and enables faster multi-color printing cycles. Whether used with manual presses or semi-automatic setups, the flash dryer ensures sharp, clean prints with excellent ink bonding and long-term wash durability.
