Frequently asked questions
RedFlash or AirFlash?
RedFlash is the all-round choice; AirFlash adds forced air that cools the garment so poly, nylon and spandex don't scorch or shrink, flashing in as little as 4 seconds.
Do I need 240V?
The RD-18 comes in 120V; larger heads and AirFlash need 240V. A 30 A twist-lock plug is optional on AirFlash.
What does AutoFlash do?
It swings the head in with a foot pedal and swings it away after a set dwell, preventing burnt or under-flashed prints.
