Choosing the Right Graphic Curing Technology

Selecting a conveyor dryer for graphics requires balancing substrate sensitivity with ink chemistry.

  • UV Curing: The V-Tech UV Graphic Conveyor Dryer is the industry standard for instant curing on heat-sensitive plastics, glass, and metal.
  • Evaporative Drying: For solvent-based inks, the Lawson 3-D Hot-Air Jet Dryer uses high-velocity air to "scrub" the solvent off the surface, essential for curved items like bottles and cups.
  • Energy Efficiency: If you are running high-volume production, the Alpine Gas Textile & Graphic Dryer offers a lower cost-per-print compared to traditional electric models.

Graphic Conveyor Dryers FAQ

What is the best conveyor dryer for UV screen printing inks?

For UV inks, we recommend the V-Tech UV Graphic Conveyor Dryer. It is engineered for high-speed, instant curing on heat-sensitive materials like plastics, glass, and metal without warping the substrate.

Can I cure solvent-based inks on curved surfaces like bottles?

Yes. The Lawson 3-D Hot-Air Jet Dryer is specifically designed for solvent ink curing on 3D objects like bottles and cups. It uses high-velocity "jet air" to scrub solvents off the surface for a complete, durable cure.

Is there a way to add UV curing to my existing conveyor dryer?

Absolutely. The V-Tech Retro-Fit Ultra-Violet Curing Kit allows you to add professional UV capabilities to almost any existing conveyor system, providing a cost-effective way to expand into UV printing.
