Okay so I decided to do a quick video as an experiment just to see what would happen if you try to cure plastisol inks with a heat press. I think that ultimately the process could work by lessening the pressure, temperature, and perhaps the time. But it does seem that with higher volumes of ink or with under base printing it may be difficult to do without affecting the final look of the print. I had a good time making this video in between print jobs but I admit I have seen videos of people using a heat press to cure shirt but I never saw a close up of the final print either. So it might work for you and it might not. For commercial screen print work I think it would be tremendously slow at best.
