Summary: This study aimed to objectively test the development of a portable semi-automatic curing machine for print production and evaluate its performance for functionality, workability, durability, safety, aesthetics, and economy. The prototype was tested by measuring the recommended settings for temperature, distance of the chamber, and the speed of the conveyor belt; all contributing to the curing and drying quality of the material. The prototype was evaluated by conducting a survey, which was composed of thirty (30) participants that consists of twenty (20) Print Media Technology students, five (5) Graphic Arts and Printing Technology professors, and five (5) individuals working in the printing industry. The tests showed that the prototype can achieve a completely dry and transfer proof print with the set temperature of 130°C, distance of 14cm, and a conveyor speed of 1 (0.5mm/sec) with textile ink. For rubberized ink, it could achieve the same results with the set temperature of 140°C, distance of 14cm and conveyor speed of 1 (0.5mm/sec). It had trouble achieving the same results when tested with plastisol ink, resulting in a longer drying time of 14 min & 30 sec with the set temperature of 150°C and distance of 14cm. The researchers’ tested the pressed prints with UV light curing and it shows no signs of tearing breaks and bumps. The evaluation results revealed that it achieved a grand mean of 4.83 with

This study aimed to objectively test the development of a portable semi-automatic curing
machine for print production and evaluate its performance for functionality, workability, durability, safety, aesthetics, and economy. The prototype was tested by measuring the
recommended settings for temperature, distance of the chamber, and the speed of the
conveyor belt; all contributing to the curing and drying quality of the material. The
prototype was evaluated by conducting a survey, which was composed of thirty (30)
participants that consists of twenty (20) Print Media Technology students, five (5)
Graphic Arts and Printing Technology professors, and five (5) individuals working in the
printing industry. The tests showed that the prototype can achieve a completely dry and
transfer proof print with the set temperature of 130°C, distance of 14cm, and a conveyor
speed of 1 (0.5mm/sec) with textile ink. For rubberized ink, it could achieve the same
results with the set temperature of 140°C, distance of 14cm and conveyor speed of 1
(0.5mm/sec). It had trouble achieving the same results when tested with plastisol ink, resulting in a longer drying time of 14 min & 30 sec with the set temperature of 150°C
