A leading European book printing group has now improved its HP inkjet press performance by putting into commercial operation an adphosNIR Photonic drying system to upgrade its existing HP T360 color press. The adphosNIR dryer upgrade fully replaces the original HP hot-air based unit with HP extended dryer for each printing tower.
With the adphosNIR technology and the chosen dryer configuration, printers can now operate using regular offset quality substrates which reduces substantially their costs. Due to its low thermal stress on the substrate, there is much less paper dry-out.
Energy savings (50% to 70%) is found with the adphosNIR dryer operation. As it requires almost no start-up period and as, during non-print operations (stationary web), the adphosNIR dryer switches off, overall it require less than 50% total power consumption compared to the originally installed HP hot air driers.
