I have been all over this site and have seen many different views on gassing out and the use of dryers but most of that talk was from about 4 or 5 years ago. I would like a fresh perspective on this. I have a new VP640 with the take up system coming in next week that I will be inking double cmyk for speed. That being said I am on the fence to spend $2,200 more for the inline dryer but if it will speed up the gassing out time it will pay for itself with the time savings. also I worry that the print may not be dry by the time it hits the take up tube. I currently have a SP 540I that I don't have an issue with but it is rated at 85 SQ FT P/H and the VP is rated at 280 SQ FT P/H not sure how often it will be running that fast or even how true that is. So My 2 questions: Will cure time (OUT GASSING) be lowered and will my prints be rolling up wet without the dryer? Thanks Dave.
