Drying Time

Demanding schedules sometimes make it necessary to take jobs right from the press directly to the bindery without any additional drying time. Tracking, marking, scuffing and set-off are just a few of the problems that can be encountered due to inadequate ink drying. Drying times can be reduced by running the proper water/ink balance, running ink at the proper density, making sure your fountain solution is properly mixed, and cleaning your fountain solution system and trays regularly.
