[Digital BW] Re: How many shades of grey?

2005-06-17 by Djon

A drying system (involving heat and fans) is necessary unless the
gloss has some sort of very fast-evaporating solvent...or unless
you're doing very slow production, removing one print at a time and
carefully laying it on a rack to dry. That's not the way most people
seem to use these printers.  

Fast evaporating solvents are *all* dangerous...that's why printing
plants have to abide by elaborate ventillation/filtration rules in the
US.
