Drying/Curing Equipment — Avoid Half-baked Systems

BY ERIK CAGLE

When you have the need for speed (press speed, that is) the last thing you want is some clunky drying/curing system that is not able to keep pace.

Systems that generate high UV output to cure difficult colors and the heavy laydown of inks and coatings at high press speeds are highly sought, according to Dave McDowell, UV product manager for UVTechnology. Minimizing the temperatures of the web allow for printing on films and thermal-sensitive substrates.
