Atkins temperature instruments and silkscreen probes deliver reliable thermal testing for conveyor dryers, flash-cure units, and heat presses. Lawson Workhorse Group (LWG) supplies genuine Atkins temperature measurement products engineered to verify proper ink curing temperatures and eliminate under-cured or scorched apparel during production.

Our collection of Atkins products includes digital screen printing thermometer kits, replacement donut probes for conveyor dryers, and heavy-duty wire thermistor probes. Accurate temperature monitoring with Atkins instruments ensures plastisol and water-based inks reach complete cross-linking temperatures (typically 320°F) across the entire garment surface.

Invest in professional Atkins temperature probes to maintain quality control, avoid wash-out complaints, and optimize dryer heater settings. Shop our full inventory of Atkins digital pyrometers, replacement sensor donuts, and heat testing accessories today.

Atkins Products FAQ

Why is a donut probe better than an infrared gun for testing dryer cure?
A donut probe travels through the heat tunnel directly on top of the garment, measuring the actual temperature of the ink film over time rather than just a momentary surface reading.

How often should screen printers check ink curing temperatures?
It is best practice to test dryer temperature with an Atkins probe at the start of every shift, when changing garment types (e.g., light t-shirts vs. heavy fleece), or when adjusting belt speeds.
