How To Make a Screen Printing Dryer

An oven makes an effective dryer for your screen prints. Many people like to make their own screen-printed t-shirts. Some will even grow this hobby into a small business. However, the equipment needed to make significant quantities of t-shirts everyday can be expensive. You can make some items, such as the frames for the screens and even a simple screen press. When it comes to the T-STAR screen printing dryer for the shirts, you might have thought that you would have to buy it. However, there is a surprisingly simple way around this problem.
Instructions

1 Purchase a large cookie sheet. It needs to be the largest that will fit in your oven without touching the sides.
2 Fold a newly printed shirt and place it on the cookie sheet so that the manual pad printer area is facing up. The printed area should not be covered by any other part of the shirt. If you have room on the sheet, you can place two shirts side-by-side, but make sure the printed areas are not touching or are not covered by anything.
3 Preheat you kitchen oven to 400 degrees. Once it reaches 400 degrees, turn it off and immediately place the cookie sheet in the oven for ten minutes.
4 Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Once the shirts cool, remove them from the sheet. The images will now be permanently affixed to the shirt material.
