How do you cure water-based ink without forced air equipment?Updated an hour ago

If you don’t have forced-air curing equipment, Warp Drive can be used with your water-based inks to help chemically cure the ink over time. Add it to the water-based ink according to the product instructions, print the garment, and make sure all moisture has been evaporated from the ink, following the recommended temperatures. Then, set the garment aside for 48 hours to allow the ink to fully cure.

After 48 hours, perform a wash test to make sure the print is holding up properly, and make adjustments to your process as needed. Warp Drive does not eliminate the need for proper cure testing or adequate ventilation.
