Project
Centurion Lab
Centurion lab work focused on test-print conditions, controlled heat output, and repeatable curing results.
How Centurion Lab fits a print week
Centurion Lab deals with dryer use in a Centurion test and sampling environment where heat has to stay controlled from run to run. The page is aimed at setups that value repeatable curing over high-volume floor layout.
Centurion Lab is set up around sampling runs, short garment tests, and packaging trials where the same print must cure the same way on the next pass. Test work here pays attention to heater height, platen pause time, and the print type being checked, whether that is a white underbase, a blocker, or a small solid on film or board. Centurion conditions usually call for close watch on ambient dust, stable power, and notes that link each result to the exact flash or bank used.
Begin with a clear image of the press station and the print area under test. Add the current heat setting, dwell time, and the last cure reading so the next operator can repeat the sample conditions without reworking the setup. In a lab environment, that record matters more than broad production estimates.
Centurion sample run records
Capture what must be logged before a unit, spare, or revised setting is signed off for further use. Include the dryer type, the bank layout, and the material that was printed, then tie those details to one cure log entry from the lab test. A controlled trial in Centurion is more useful than a wider rollout built on memory.
From our Centurion lab, add the matching line notes and a cure log entry before you widen the scope. Review the line details again before any unit or spare goes out.

Centurion test conditions that matter
Lab work in Centurion often supports print approval before a line change reaches a busier garment or packaging setup. That means small shifts in head height, exposure time, or substrate colour need to be written down while the sample is still in hand. A controlled room helps, but repeatable curing still depends on matching the exact unit notes to the exact print result.
Fine dust can settle on reflectors and guards even in test spaces, so inspection and wipe-down checks should sit next to the cure readings. Power interruptions also affect restart behaviour, especially when a ceramic IR head or quartz bank is being compared with a previous sample. For Centurion Lab, each retest should show what changed and what stayed fixed.

Centurion Lab submission details
When sending through a Centurion Lab request, attach test images, substrate information, print sequence, and the heat-control issue being checked. Through the contact form, describe the current print setup and the dryer it uses now. Include any matching line notes if the sample relates to a unit that may move onto a production line.
Keep the record tied to this project page so the lab trial, image, and cure log entry stay together. If a spare, heater bank, or full dryer is being reviewed, add the relevant line details before the scope is widened beyond the Centurion test environment. That makes the file usable when the same sample condition needs to be repeated later.
