product gallery Safety Shirt ERB Safety recently announced the addition of a short-sleeve Birdseye T-shirt to its line of safety products. The shirt (style 9006S) is made of 100% polyester Birdseye knit mesh. The lightweight fabric and shortsleeve construction make it ideal for warm climates, according to the company. The knit mesh keeps the wearer cool with moisture-wicking technology that allows perspiration to be drawn away from the skin to the outside of the shirt for evaporation. Two colors are available in sizes M-5XL. Use Info•Action #351 at impressionsmag.com/infoaction Smart Sensor Hirsch Intl. now offers a temperature sensor option for its line of quartz flash-cure units. Without a sensor, operators set the dwell time using an adjustable timer. This requires using a trial-and-error method, often resulting in either not enough time to gel the ink surface or too much time. Such variables can scorch the shirt, waste energy and create unwanted heat buildup. The company’s new sensor reads the temperature of the ink surface. Once the desired temperature is reached, the flash automatically turns off.
