I was at the Indonesian Textile show last week and was surprised the M&R Chilli does not have inbuilt fan.

It was recommended to get the Habanero A/F (air flow) for waterbased printing.

I just want to know if the Habanero A/F is just as fast as the Chilli in flashing Plastisol.

Thanks

The red Chili does have a fan built into the unit. Both units you state will work about the same on water base.

If we had 3 phase when we got our DB I would have preferred and still now would love to have a couple Red Chilli's over IR flashing

I don't know if the heat is a factor to you. The quartz is on or off as it's needed. Seems like the IR would be on a lot more, producing more ambient heat. That was one reason we went quartz. The other reason is that it is in head and we needed that too.

Once our pallets have been preheated  our Red Chili is very fast. I think depending on the color we don't exceed 3 seconds. Probably less. On certain whites I get away with less then a second or have to reduce the power to 75%.
What I really like about the Red Chili is the fact that you can switch off zones. So for left breast we normally only use 1 out of 3 zones, same for small neck prints.
