Dryer technology is a key feature to print on glossy or light-weight-coated paper (LWC).

 Dryer technology is a key feature to print on glossy or light-weight-coated paper (LWC), for high-quality -magazine style appearance of the printed product and to avoid the sole use of an expensive press for low-quality newspaper production.

Technological aspects:

Heatset = Hot-air drying

UV – Dryertechnology:
- Air curing with UV-radiation only
- Inert curing, UV-radiation in a nitrogen environment

Economical and business aspects:
- How to integrate a dryer into the press?
- How to specify the costs of ownership and production?
- How to come to a business model?

Accordingly we developed an calculation sheet in excel, which is available on request.
