I am using speedball ink as well and my gold has faded a bit but I want to make she the ink will stay in. The dryer I have is new so I did it on medium heat for 15 mins. Hi Georg,

I was wondering how long do you put your t-shirts in the dryer for and what kind of dryer so you have. I am using speedball ink as well and my gold has faded a bit but I want to make she the ink will stay in. The dryer I have is new so I did it on medium heat for 15 mins.

Then I put them all in the clothes dryer and run them through a hot dry cycle. I have done it this way for years and have not had any problem with ink washing out. I use Speedball fabric ink.

Tried the oven technique and the oven was so hot it literally burned the T-shirt my kids had designed for their mom.. About an hour's worth of work of a unique design totally ruined. I'd go with an iron. Just ruined my day. Tried the oven technique and the oven was so hot it literally burned the T-shirt my kids had designed for their mom..

I had heat set some stuff with an iron but I don't think I did it well enough and a lot of it came out in the wash. I will try the oven method. Thanks!

Since most inks have a setting temperature, you can use a space heater or broiler (or a flash dryer if you have the spare cash for one) and use the temp gun to prevent leaving the shirt in the heat for too long...

Probably no more than heating it with a heat gun. You can try contacting the manufacturer of the ink, and ask them. They will probably have 800 number that you can call. I don’t know.
