Near Infrared Dryers

Near Infrared Dryers (or as Adphos is calling it, NIR Dryers)are making a huge splash in the variable inkjet printing industry. Regular infrared dryers use a combination of heat and forced air to dry ink. Near Infrared Dryers do use heat and forced air, but the wave lengths being emitted are specifically designed to be absorbed quickest by the black ink that you are trying to dry. This allows you to use less power overall, gives you higher production speeds, and allows you to inkjet on some substrates that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to, when using standard infrared dryers.

We tested Near Infrared inkjet dryers vs. standard infrared dryers using our Buskro Atlas inkjet addressing system. The results were amazing. Simply put, the Near Infrared dryer worked better. Using the Near Infrared Dryer even though we were using less power, we were able to increase our speed by about 30% - 50%.

Whether you need an inkjet addressing system or an inkjet for other variable or static printing, the Buskro Atlas inkjet system and Near Infrared dryer combination offers high speed and high quality, inkjetting. Visit our website or call us anytime for more information: 800-398-5786.
