There is a large selection of air-drying equipment available; which to choose depends greatly on the application. by Kate Tomlinson, Associate Editor NO MATTER WHAT you are printing, be it tags and labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, or corrugated, a dry web is a basic essential. Drying technologies are plentiful, but choosing the right method for your application plays a crucial part in the end product’s success. Unfortunately, air-drying equipment comes with a bit of fine print. And as long as you can answer a couple quick questions (types of inks/coatings/adhesives and typical substrates), suppliers are more than willing to spell out the pros

IN 1967, THE ENVIRONMENTAL Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Clean Air Act (CAA). Twenty-three years later, the Act was amended, requiring the EPA to set national ambient air quality standards; six Titles were added, including primary standards (to protect public health) and secondary standards (to protect public welfare). Today, most packaging plants that print, laminate, or coat with solvent-based inks and coatings are subject to various levels of these air regulations. One potential area of concern for packagers is using hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), says Steven Rach, senior account executive at MEGTEC Systems. He explains regulations, referred to as Maximum Achievable Control Technology
