we don't do that ever because flashing black ink along with white would make the black burn through the shirt

might only be a quartz flash issue though

Say wha....?

On polyester, by the time white has flashed the black can have absorbed enough heat to melt the shirt. I have a few examples of this kicking around the shop.

Wait, yep, %100 polyester, the Sportek ST700's, we had that happen a few weeks back.
Never seen it on cotton though. Both our presses have two heads before the flash station.
