Abstract: An ink drying machine for T-shirts and other articles which employs an array of ceramic heating tiles having flat surfaces to provide a large area of uniform intensity and wavelength radiation to the surface of T-shirts and other articles moving below the heating tiles on a conveyor belt. The array of heating tiles may consist of adjacent rows or have gaps between the rows. By having a variable speed conveyor belt the amount of radiation each T-shirt receives can be adjusted. The surface temperature of the tiles may be adjusted to provide different wave lengths for different inks. In this manner the intensity, wavelength and time of irradiation can be controlled. Since different inks have different drying requirements the machine can be adjusted to maximize production rates by varying the time and wave length of radiation the ink is exposed to.
