dryer settings for waterbased inks on white?

It's true!  Wash test is the only real test there is.  The rest of the tools we use- belt speed read outs, chamber temp settings, donut probe, surface temp at exit, etc. -are all just there to help keep the parameters in place to repeat what made the wash test successful.

yea i've always rolled my eyes when people spout specific numbers for waterbased.  Everything from ambient humidity and temp, to the coverage and color of the ink, to the type of substrate, etc can affect those numbers.  I've always simply aimed to over cure and wash test to be sure.  I've tried to specifically pick large coverage with white printed on rainy cold days as the ultimate test and so far no issues with the setting I commonly use.

I thought I was the only person that have that rainy day problem.

Work horse 5217 here. I print water base a lot. Tested hundreds of shirts some up to 50 washes. Any dryer can do water base. Its just about knowing your dryer. I print up to 400 an hour unless it is a big print like 15x19. Then it goes down to about 300. For me I try to run one line of shirts through this leaves open belt for air flow. I'm in Arizona so my results may be better than normal due to low humidity.

Take time to test and test again. Sending out a undercured jobs will hurt your business.
