Could it work with plastisol?

[@screenprintdirect]

Good question! Yes, this would work regardless of the ink being used.

Does the flash replaces the oven?

[@screenprintdirect]

We wouldn't say it replaces it but if you do not have a conveyor dryer then the flash can definitely step in its place to get you by.
