SHEETFED DRYING/CURING SYSTEMS -- Running Hot and Cold

Nonetheless, it's important for sheetfed printers to consider all of their options, adds Keith Tap, the company's vice president of operations. "We believe one of the biggest considerations printers face today is which drying/curing approach offers the opportunity to provide the best 'value-added' option to their customers," he explains. "When printers study the options available, they should work through a 'crystal ball' equation: What markets do we serve currently? What markets do we have the potential to serve? And what will we be asked to do next week, next month and next year?"
