Donut probe. But we have a temp gun for other things.

I use a temp gun from lowes to check the temp as the shirts are at their peak towards the back of the dryer. Since its a reflected heat I allow the temp to reach 375 before I consider it cured. That is based upon experience over the long haul where the ink pulls apart (not bridging) and red ink rubbing off (crocking). That's just how I do it.

I get my most accurate readings just before they exit. That also allows me to hold the gun closer which is more accurate as well.
I also shoot for something between 375 and 400 just for an instant

We are looking at this one or the next model closest to it....

I use a donut probe inside the shirt... if the inside of the shirt is at 320 under the ink, I'm pretty sure that the shirt is completely cooked

We have a "donut" but he says it doesn't work quite right. So we use a cheaper temp gun but it's pretty old and beat up.





Here is a pic of the donut

The cross hair where the two wires meet, need to be IN the ink to get accurate readings.
If you just place it atop a printed shirt, it won't read correctly.

Dab some ink on a shirt, then place the cross hairs in that blob and send it down.

we have a fluke, really we do test our temps on a Fluke..... works pretty well.

There are cheaper guns out there but this is a pretty important element to the sure cure thing.
