Admiral, We have a Sprint 2000 dryer. The temperature fluxuates a little going down the dryer, but at 320-330 when it comes out.

mk162, Yes a donut probe. I took it up to 365 after I found out it was cracking. I was at 320 +/- a few.

What dryer do you have? any chance the entrance / exit are cool spots and so you are missing a good % of curing time at that temperature?

You took the ink film to 365? How are you measuring that? A donut probe?
It sounds like you are over curing it. Aim for 320.

Has anyone had any problems with Quick White cracking? It`s been cured to 365 degrees and 50 seconds in the dryer. Stretch test is good also, but after 2 washes it`s cracking.

Is this the best way, or do you guys have better results with screen printed labels, either direct or transfers?
I'm on my way out of the biz, but am helping one of my remaining local clients who is getting started with a shirt line, (sigh).
The inside of fleece is a weird substrate. I did them, but as I said, it was "different".

And the stampinator......does not work well with many substates without adjustments, which no one seems to know. So, it's a dust collector. Too many misprints on extremely expensive garments. Perhaps it was me, but I can't be everywhere at once.
That stinks, I thought that would finally be the real deal for improving prints without causing waste. I found the M&R Hot Head did what you said the Stampinator did for you.
Homer has one and loves it. If anyone on here has one they'd part with, I'd try it out...

Tony, life sucks and then you die. You can count your blessings or count your problems the simple choice is yours.

I bought that exact Amazon one 2 years ago - in a 2 pack. They have 2/3/5 packs for less per battery if you need multiple, less per battery.
