How to Adjust Your Dryer Temperature for the Winter
Dec 19, 2017
Lawson Screen & Digital Products releases the newest installment in its series of technical screen printing tips and advice. For most screen printers, there is minimal heating or cooling inside their shops. This leads to seasonal temperature fluctuation that printers, and their equipment, must deal with. During those chilly months, many of us put on a pair of gloves and a hat. Don’t forget to give your conveyor dryer a warmth boost too. The cold air in your shop pulls the heat away from the conveyor dryer, lowering the tunnel temperature. This means that a screen printing dryer running at the same settings all year round could have a lower heat chamber temperature in the winter compared with the summer. Without making any adjustments your t-shirts and other garments going through the dryer could be coming out under-cured. To make sure you are curing your shirts properly: 1. Raise the temperature, 2. Slow down the belt speed, or 3. Do a combination of the previous two. For more details on adjusting your temperature settings, visit Lawson’s Winter Conveyor Dryer Tips.
