<p>Drying a coated substrate (16) which includes magnetic particles includes a condensing surface (22) spaced from the substrate (16). This creates a longitudinal gap (h1) between the substrate (16) and the condensing surface (22). Liquid (18) is evaporated from the substrate (16) to create a vapor and the vapor is transported to the condensing surface (22) without requiring applied convection. The vapor is condensed on the condensing surface to create a condensate which is removed from the condensing surface (22). Removal is performed, using more than gravity, without allowing non-uniformities of the condensate film to occur. The magnetic particles are oriented on the coated substrate (16) by subjecting the coated substrate (16) to a magnetic filed created at a location outside of the dryer space.</p> |
