Yea make sure you get a flash dryer. If not you will start to hate screen printing real fast. Just make sure you use a temp gun to make sure your getting ink to 330 deg to cure the ink or they will was out. Another good way to tell is after you have heated it and it has cooled off try to stretch the print and if it cracks then its not cured.

I've used a temp gun for years.  I was surprised when I saw this.

Screenprinting - Truth about Thermal Temp Guns

 

Just a thought guys, has anyone tried using a coversheet and drying a shirt in your heat press? Once you found the right settings it would probably worth a try before spending any money on a flash dryer.

Did you let it dry first?  I reckon if you let it dry for a hour or two then put in the press with a cover sheet to cure you should be OK.  Any of those 90cent t-shirts you buy in Asia are never heat cured, if you don't iron them before you wash them the ink will wash out. They are just air dried and sold, if you iron them there's no problem.
