Integrating drying into the printing cycle
When evaluating drying equipment, define both the working area and how the printed product will reach it. Include the specified conditions for the substrate and ink in the equipment assessment.
What to include in the compatibility file
- Full machine model code and connection configuration
- External dimensions of the part or equipment
- The equipment’s place in the production sequence and its relationship to the cycle
- Required sample inspection results and operating conditions
How to compare quotations
Evaluate alternatives for Infrared Dryers using the same sample and workflow. An individual unit appearing suitable does not establish that the entire line will meet the target cycle. Check loading, transport, cleaning, drying and other relevant steps in the actual production setup.
