being that they were sweatshirts, the quartz flash was pretty quick. i hate to flash them too long at the risk of them shrinking. my guess would have been approx 3 sec. its a pretty large area of white that needed to be flashed. usually as long as i can give it a quick touch and its not too tacky, thats my science... flash times similar for the manual as well. our guy said probably around 3-4 sec. sorta tough to gauge as its not on a timer.

We start around 4 seconds and depending on the ink deposit and length of the job we can get down to under 2 seconds easily but we've never had an overgel issue with a base. I think that it still may be an overgel problem but not because of your flash times. There is something wrong with the ink. Has any of the ink been modified with any additive?
