Discharge and Matsui fixer

[starchild]

I would venture to say that yes; forced air gas dryers are the most common in the industry. On these boards perhaps not.

I just figured the barriers to entry to the screen print industry is so low, that investing in a forced air gas dryer wouldn't be at the top of the equipment list.. That's like sayin more people drive a lexus rather than a Corolla to their shops.

All active forums for this industry have enough members to be able to be polled to get a make up of the industry shop sizes.. So if not much owners on this forum well...

I frame this more like questions rather than facts..

I kind of doubt that. Probably depends as well on the percentage of fixer added.

On behalf of Matsui we would like to confirm this quote to be true and accurate for the mentioned products.

 I would also like to add that the Fixer F allows for a lower curing temperature that Fixer N.  Fixer F allows for the ink to dry and set when it reaches 250-260 degrees F where as in Fixer N it will dry and set at 280-290 depending on the type of dryer and belt speed used.  Please note these temperatures are inside the dryer and not on the digital displays.  Please use the correct heat measuring tools to adjust accordingly. Just like any other ink, please always test to ensure proper wash fastness and adhesion.  Without fixers we are currently recommending 320 degrees F for 2-3 minute belt speed with our 301 Eco Series.

For discharge ink we do recommend, but does not have the same effects and only drops the curing time slightly.
