Screen printing is an art requiring precision, and your <\/span>conveyor dryer<\/span><\/a> is essential for producing high-quality prints. At Anatol, we know how essential reliable equipment is to your success.<\/span><\/p>\n Even the best dryers can underperform if you make common mistakes. Learn about four common conveyor dryer mistakes screen printers should avoid to improve print quality and efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the most frequent errors is setting the conveyor dryer to the wrong temperature. Every ink type\u2014whether plastisol, water-based, or discharge\u2014requires a specific curing temperature. Plastisol inks typically require a curing temperature of 320\u00b0F (160\u00b0C). Water-based inks, on the other hand, often require lower temperatures but need more time in the dryer.<\/span><\/p>\n Why it\u2019s a problem<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n How to avoid it<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Pro Tip<\/b>: Regularly calibrate your dryer to ensure temperature accuracy, especially if you switch between ink types frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The speed of your conveyor belt directly affects the dwell time\u2014the duration the print spends in the dryer. Incorrect belt speed\u2014either too fast or too slow\u2014can negatively impact print quality.<\/span><\/p>\n Why it\u2019s a problem<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n How to avoid it<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n A dirty or poorly maintained conveyor dryer can lead to uneven curing, belt tracking issues, or even <\/span>equipment<\/span><\/a> failure. Dust, ink residue, and lint buildup are common culprits in screen printing shops.<\/span><\/p>\n Why it\u2019s a problem<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n How to avoid it<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Trying to maximize throughput by overloading the conveyor dryer is a recipe for disaster. Crowding the belt with too many garments reduces airflow and heat distribution, leading to inconsistent curing.<\/span><\/p>\n Why it\u2019s a problem<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n How to avoid it<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Avoiding these mistakes starts with selecting a reliable, high-performance conveyor dryer tailored to your shop\u2019s needs.
