Vastex F-1000 — 18″×18″ Flash With Adjustable Heat Control

When you need more coverage and finer control than an entry flash, the F-1000 delivers. Its 18″×18″ close-coil infrared heater spreads even heat across bigger prints, adjustable heat control with power lights lets you dial it in, and a 5-year heater warranty backs it up — all on a heavy-duty, mobile steel frame.

Why Printers Choose It

18″×18″ of Even Heat

A high-wattage, close-coil element covers larger prints edge to edge with no hot or cold spots.

Adjustable Heat Control

Dial the temperature to the job with power-light feedback — more control than a simple on/off flash.

5-Year Heater Warranty

Vastex backs the heater for 5 years — confidence for daily production.

Level & Mobile

Head leveler for parallel, repeatable flashing; side handles and locking casters to move it anywhere.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vastex F-1000 18″×18″ Flash Dryer — Frequently Asked Questions

What does the F-1000 do?

It flashes plastisol between colors and cures prints on a larger 18″×18″ area, with adjustable heat control for finer temperature management.

F-100 vs F-1000 — which do I need?

The F-100 (16″×16″, on/off) is the lowest-cost entry flash. The F-1000 adds a bigger head, adjustable heat control, and a 5-year heater warranty. See the comparison chart.

120V or 240V?

120V (1,950W) plugs into a standard outlet; 240V (2,600W) warms up faster. Pick by your shop’s outlets — the correct plug is included.

How is it different from the RedFlash?

The RedFlash adds a cooling fan and air curtain (so you can set it closer for faster flashing), an ultra-slim 2.75″ head, and a digital percentage timer. The F-1000 is the simpler, lower-cost 18″×18″ flash.

Can I automate it?

Yes — add the AutoFlash upgrade for hands-free, foot-pedal flashing.
