Sheetfed Drying/Curing — A Cure-All for UV Inks

Likewise, a sheetfed press’ drying/curing system generally doesn’t garner any attention, unless it doesn’t perform the task at hand. Instead of boos from 50,000 people, the result is screams from one unhappy customer.

“I have always taken the position that a drying or curing system is not just an add-on accessory to the press, but actually an integral part of the press that can and will dictate its ultimate performance,” notes Bill Bonallo, president and CEO of technotrans america. “With sheetfed press running speeds ever increasing—exceeding 18,000 iph—the performance of the drying or curing system is even more critical.”
