Does anyone know if there are any long term consequences from breathing in the fumes from the shirt dryer? I've got a pretty standard setup: using fruit of the loom t-shirts passing thru a brand new 8-foot infrared conveyor dryer printed with Triangle all-purpose plastisol. Shirts reach pretty standard temp of around 350-360 degrees. After printing for a few hours, I notice a kind of haze build up in the room from the fumes coming out of the dryer, even though I do have the dryer's top pipe ventilated to the outside. The haze gives me a slight headache and kind of a sore throat after awhile, so I usually open my garage doors every 2 hours or so. Any long term consequences from this? Any way to improve my setup to reduce it?
