A drying arrangement located in a drying station and intended for drying printed material includes a material-conveying path (10), preferably arranged to convey the material through the print drying station, and further including one or more drying and/or curing means (19). The print drying and/or curing means (9) is, or are, arranged to operate intermittently. A control means (12) for controlling the intermittent operation of the means (9) is arranged to activate the drying and/or curing means over a period of time in which the wet coating in the material is located adjacent the drying and/or curing means (9). There is also included a multi-ink printing or multi-coating printing arrangement which comprises a plurality of sequentially arranged and interconnected printing machines (1, 2, 3) having intermediate drying arrangements (4 and 5). The printing arrangement has a single, intermittently operating gripping system (10) which is common to all printing machines and drying arrangements in the printing arrangement. A gripper (10a) in one printing machine (1) and a gripper (10a') in an adjacent drying arrangement (4) form a sealing means for sealing the infeed and outfeed openings of the drying arrangement.
