More Information
When large format printing with solvent, ecosolvent, dye or pigment ink, one has often the need to dry the output from the printer. The printed material is not really dry when it hits the ground, causing two major problems: dust on the print and eventually sticking to each other. The result is the same: a ruined printout.
Thanks to the Online Dryer, the media will be absolute dry when touching the ground or the roller of your automatic take up device.

Why need an extra dryer if there is already one in the SolventJet-Rockhopper and others?
The heating strips on these plotters are designed to make the vinyl accept the ink better. The strips are narrow and when printing at higher speed (540 dpi ) or on heavier materials (banner) the output is not dry when touching the ground. The faces will stick together.

Why using bottom up heating? Is it not better to apply heat from the top?
No, bottom up heating has the important advantage that the media top layer stays open while drying. When applying heat at the top, the top layer is rapidly drying and it may create a shield for the moisture inside. Bottom up heating does not create this effect.
