As long as you have new platen tape and fresh adhesive there shouldn't be any problems. We just always make sure to use fresh platen tape so there aren't any fibers stuck to the platen because the nylon will show that texture in the print. We haven't had a problem with the jacket moving during the print.
Every dryer is different. If your dryer has an adjustable heat element then move it as far away from the garment as possible. Unfortunately, there are a ton of factors that you have to test to figure that out. The most important thing with nylon is that you keep it in dryer as little as necessary to cure the ink. The threshold of nylon getting too hot and getting ruined is very thin. It is a frustrating job for sure and why not many shops really like doing nylon jobs.
There are a lot of factors at play here... it depends a lot on your dryer. You will need to test things on your dryer to figure out dwell time, temp, height of heating element(if adjustable), and so on. There's not a one answer fits all on this.
Yo thanks man! We did just one hit on these and then straight into the conveyor dryer. If you are using a flash dryer only then we recommend raising your flash and closely watch your temp.
You aint kidding with that t shirt quote !!
hahaha for real!!
Orderd.and Breaker shipped out already nice!
How would you do a multicolor print on nylon jackets?
Did you consider using the jacket hold down? I'd love to print windbreakers but concerned about wasting blanks without the proper hold down.

Can you use DTF on windbreakers?
Yes you can! Howard transfer could probably help you out!
How do you keep the nylon from shrinking in the oven? Do you run a really low-cure temp ink? Even at 285 we are loosing pieces due to shrinkage.

So if I add a base I gotta mix the epic hugger as well?
The hugger catalyst is used to ensure it properly adheres to the nylon.
can you remove the print easily on puffers/windbreakers?
If the ink is cured properly then the ink won't come off.
Is it possible to remove a white screen print from the nylon windbreaker?
Not a hundred percent sure if you can..but you could try rubbing alcohol.
@@GoldenPressStudio Ill try it on another piece. Thanks for recommendation
What’s the temperature to don’t burn the nylon?

Hi guys! I really can’ t understand where to find the harder..
Did you do a single pass or PFP?
Those were single pass on a 110 mesh so the shimmer gold could pass through smoothly. Make sure to use the catalyst on nylon!!
Hey! At what temp did you run the jackets through?
We set temp at 400 degrees F and adjust belt speed to hit the 320 degree F cure temp.
Nice guys! Where'd you get the spatula holder on your wall? We so need that!
It's a magnetized tool holder. Works Great!!
What brand gold was that! Looks great!
Ryonet's Shimmer Gold!
does the catalyst work with any brand of plastisol ?
We have used it with different brands of Plastisol Ink with no issues.
Water base ink?
plastisol with a catalyst to make it bond to the nylon
Sick print😎😎😎 that gold definetely pops on top on that black! Was it pfp? Or just one hit of the gold?

what happens if you dont use the catalyst?
It doesn't adhere very well to the jacket and flakes off after a little bit of wear. If you wash it most of the design WILL come off!
Sick🔥. What’s the cure temp? I’m actually going to print up some coaches jacket soon. Follow us TownPrintShop 🙏🏽
and store the catalyst upside down.. so it dont dry out mang
learning !!!
I tried this, but I'm still having issues with it drying in the bottle 😢
Going to put the next bottle in a different air-tight container
I was a Teenage Screen Printer
