Measuring shirt temp?

GraphicDisorder:
Are most of you using donut probes or something else?  If so what brand and where to buy it and such?

We are using a laser temp gun which is not exactly the best way but also do a stretch test and such.  But want to get a more dialed in reading.

Frog:
Google Atkins or Atkins Donut Probe. The probe and readout unit are often sold separate, and I am thinking that the probe could be used with some other digital thermometers.

Same as you, off-contact thermometer and a stretch test.
For someone like me with a pretty basic conveyor dryer (and no room for an upgrade) I find it necessary to test during the first half hour of printing to really get it to settle down, and that's after a half hour of initial warm-up and so-so stabilization. Aside from my inbred Scots thrift (what others call being too cheap), I'm not sure how much the purchase of a donut probe would help me, other than it's relative dead-on accuracy, but a temperature in a range, coupled with sufficient dwell, has done the job so far.
