“Image Armor E-Series DTG inks cure white ink in 35 seconds, so a single 330°F-for-90-seconds rule is not the white-ink cure spec for every DTG ink.”
Copied
35 seconds is the exact white-ink cure time Source 1 gives for Image Armor E-Series inks, achieved at 356F rather than any 330°F figure. Source 2 independently shows Firebird curing white ink in 60 seconds and Dupont requiring 180 seconds, confirming that cure time and temperature vary by ink brand rather than following one universal spec. Together the sources support the claim's conclusion that no single 330°F/90-second rule governs white-ink cure across all DTG inks.
The span it rests on
The new Image Armor E-SERIES™ inks have a 35 second white ink cure time.

The rating stands; the DuPont figure in our reasoning was not DuPont's. We wrote that Firebird's page shows DuPont "requiring 180 seconds". Firebird's product copy tells buyers to say "goodbye" to waiting 180 seconds without naming anyone; the DuPont name comes from customer reviews on Firebird's own product page. DuPont's own process guidelines cure Artistri Brite P5000 on dark or black cotton for 60 to 75 seconds at 356°F (180°C), or 35 seconds at 365°F with a non-stick sheet. That is a third maker with its own time and temperature, so the conclusion that no single 330°F-for-90-seconds rule covers white ink holds. The 356F for Image Armor is correct as published.
“60 – 75 seconds at 356°F (180°C)”
