Questions & Answers

What makes the InkSense™ technology on the DCC Red Pepper unique?
InkSense™ monitors the actual substrate temperature as it flashes and automatically turns off the heating elements once the preset operator temperature is reached, preventing fabric shrinkage, scorching, or heat distortion.

Can I save settings for recurring job types on the DCC Red Pepper?
Yes, the digital control panel allows you to store up to 10 custom job recipes, making it easy to recall exact flash durations, lamp intensities, and temperature thresholds for regular clients.

Is the DCC Red Pepper compatible with manual presses as well as automatics?
Yes, its universal freestanding chassis on smooth-locking casters and positionable proximity sensor allow it to roll up and integrate seamlessly with almost any manual or automatic screen printing press.
