Drying/Curing Equipment — Avoid Half-baked Systems

Because more printers are doing multicolor work, dryers are becoming necessary for faster turnaround times and higher quality printing, according to Margaret Bain, marketing coordinator for Accel Graphic Systems. Drying systems reduce spray powder usage and setoff or blocking.

"The fastest growing curing and drying technology is probably UV," she says. "Ultraviolet inks and coatings produce bright, intense colors and extremely high gloss."
