Fixing color ink If you are printing with only color ink, the size of the printed area does not matter. Temperature 338 °F (170 °C) Time 45 seconds Pressure 6 Psi Fixing White ink If the ink is not completely dry after 45 seconds, extend the duration while carefully checking if the pretreatment solution is dry. Printed area size Letter/A4 and smaller Larger than letter/A4 Temperature 338 °F (170 °C) Time 45 seconds 45 to 90 seconds Pressure 6 Psi Note: Optimum conditions vary depending on the type of heat press. Be sure to test the result in advance in order to find the right pressure. Parent topic: Fixing the Ink Fixing Conditions (Heat Tunnel) Optimum conditions vary depending on the heat tunnel. Test and check the results in advance to determine the correct temperature and duration. Note: The temperature in the tables here refer to the temperature of the fixing surface of the T-shirt, not the internal temperature of the heat tunnel. If the surface of the T-shirt exceeds 356 °F (180 °C), the Tshirt and the print surface may change color.

Fixing Conditions (Heat Tunnel)
Optimum conditions vary depending on the heat tunnel. Test and check the results in advance to
determine the correct temperature and duration.
Note:
The temperature in the tables here refer to the temperature of the fixing surface of the T-shirt, not
the internal temperature of the heat tunnel. If the surface of the T-shirt exceeds 356 °F (180 °C), the T-
shirt and the print surface may change color.
