looking to decrease my ecosolink curing time before lamination

[shadi75]

Hi

I been making decals and wraps for past 5 years and so far i print the work let the ink cure overnight and then laminate. I m looking to decrease my cure time so that i can move on to lamination in few hours. I saw an ad for black light panel that is suppose to help you do that. I m also looking at the new Truevis since its suppose to have faster drying and curing time and better ink.

I would really hate to have a customer come back in few month with bubbling on there wrap

Thanks

If you are considering whole new printer, look at latex, it's the only printer that is 100% dry off the printer. Otherwise, we often laminate 2-3 hours after printing, except on heavy coverage panels, no issues in almost 10 years.

I use a Black Box drier: http://bbcind.com/product/digi-dri-portable-infrared-dryer/

With a RF640 solvent printer- have never had a customer come back with failure.

+1 on the black box dryer. We have a couple of them, and they work great

The Digit-dri sounds perfect, no more waiting a day for ink to cure.

Thank you for the link.

This is my setup- I built some 80/20 structure to support my winder (up in the air where an old man can service it) and the BB heater (under the .040
alum sheet. You can buy the heater without the stand BTW.
