Please let me know if I will need to change this post below. I can copy paste the directly relevant part of the article I am linking

I wrote this article recently about a shirt I did for one of our events. At the bottom there is a write up about the "how and why" you want to cure waterbase inks.

Curing WB inks is all about the length of time at "cure temp".

Good stuff, but our noob is especially hoping for some specific guidelines for optimal results with minimal equipment. He may be stuck with my suggestion.

A heat press or iron is also a good option.
There are "air cure" catalysts also available on the market for future prints. Curing WB inks can be problematic without a good dryer and the correct additives :)

Yep, I've already mentioned both the iron and the catalysts.

Ahh, they joys of skimming through the responses and realizing long after that you missed something.... Thanks Andy.
