Video takeaways:
- Poly inks cure at 280 degrees F (dye-sub is no worry)
- Poly inks tend to flash quickly for those performing wet-on-wet prints

- Consider putting the shirt through the conveyor dryer to encourage any shrinkage prior to the press
- Consider using triple-durometer squeegees for the best results
