Common questions about IR drying for Digital Printing.

Share your substrat, ink system, web width, and line speed—YFR engineers will recommend a suitable solution.

Increase drying completeness by optimizing zoning, dwell time, and airflow. Ensure the web exits at a stable temperature before rewinding.

IR drying is commonly used for paper, labels,and films such as PET/PP/PVC. Settings should be tuned to substrate heat sensitivity.

Yes. Water-based systems often benefit from airflow support, while solvent-based inks may need staged heating to manage evaporation safely.

Start with a safe distance and moderate power, then tune by measuring surface temperature and print dryness at the line speed you target.

Use multi-zone control, uniform emitter layout,and consistent web tension. Zoning helps correct edge vs center drying differences.

Short-wave responds faster for high-speed lines; medium-wave can be gentler for heat-sensitive films and thicker coatings.

Zoned power control is essential. Non-contact temperature measurement and feedback control can improve repeatability across jobs.
