I know it doesn't go much higher... maybe 8.x".I can turn down the temps for sure, will probably save me some money. set your panel height to 4" and adjust your temp to 950 with a 30 second retention time. That is a good starting point.

That is a good starting point.Just tried a version of this.Dropped temps, dropped panels, but left the belt speed up (19) and shirt hit 430 on the infrared as it was about to exit the dryer.
Seems like there would be a definitive way to make sure your dryer is getting to X degrees on the garment/belt.
We had our first call about a shirt that the print was coming off on.Was part of a 900 pcs job... REALLY hope it's a fluke. We know it was fleece and we know we had some print issues on the fleece and hit a couple of them a few times to get it right. So we are HOPING it was just a really thick print on that particular shirt. Possible fleece isn't getting washed as much the regular t-shirts so no one is really discovering problems? Not sure, we are obviously replacing this one, luckily we are doing a repeat of the order as it's a 5 color job. Fleece was 182 out of the 900 pcs, so that might be the common denominator.Just sucks... crazy thing is we never had a single garment come back or call when we were running our little Chaparral for all those years. Now we get this big bad Radicure and we can't seem to get it right.
Didn't have time to read all this so it may have been said, forgive me if so. You are introducing more than just a new dryer to your situation, you could be over/under flashing your base as well that could be part of your issue if you have some washing off. Just food for thought.
Underflashing would be obvious on press and wouldn't have anything to do with washout issues.And in ten years I've yet to see an overflashed base with intercoat adhesion issues, and we've certainly cookedsome bases. Concept is sound but given correct temps in the dryer it should all melt together.I'd chalk it up to a new dryer. It's always a head scratcher finding your settings when you were usedto something else. Wait till you go from electric to gas...
