Default pastisol - Puff-suede- heat gun ?

Another question

I'm staring in screen print and like others in a extremely tight budget .
My goal is do screen print to sell t-shirts . and clothes .

I want to know if the puff and suede are additives or individual types of ink ?

I could cure it with a heat gun ?

They are usually additives that you need to add pigment to. You could cure it with a heat gun though I would recommend looking for a decent used flash unit until you can afford a conveyor dryer. The consistency of the flash will be much greater than that of the heat gun. REMEMBER keep an eye on that flash, I've seen many pallets burned and garments ruined due to not keeping an eye on the flash.

Have a great day!
