<p>Apparatus and a method for drying layers of ink applied to the surface of a discontinuous or continuous substrate (5) in a multi-stand offset press (1) comprising a plurality of stands (3A-3D), each having a printing portion for the application of a layer of ink to the substrate as it passes through the stand. A drying assembly (30) is mounted after and adjacent at least part of the printing stand portions and adjacent the substrate for drying the substrate and layer of ink thereon after passage therefrom. The drying assembly comprises an emitter-cooler (40) that radiates energy toward the ink-layered substrate and preferably also a gas duct (31) that directs air toward the ink-layered substrate to dry the substrate and layer of ink thereon contributing to further drying thereof and evaporation of water vapor and solvents arising therefrom.</p> |
