Here’s another #screenprinting video about curing #plastisol #inks in high humidity. This is basically an extension of the recent summer heat tips video. It’s a quick tips video since I thought taking this little tidbit out as a standalone video might help out many people with a mysterious curing problem during summertime. So this could be repetitive for all you attentive viewers as I have mentioned this in a few previous videos. Now I take the time to address humidity and curing plastisol inks alone. I hope you enjoy this short how to screen printing tutorial.

Looks like a space heater. So if it cannot reach about 350 to 400 degrees F then no. It will not work well. Plastisol inks need to reach 330 degrees F or more for up to a minute or more depending on how much ink you're printing. The more ink you need the more heat and/or time you need.
