A question to my fellow sheetfed operators out there:
Does your powder system have a noticeable effect on your sheets?
Our powder unit does not appear to have much impact on the process, and never has. Currently, whether we run it 100% or 10%, there seems to be little to no difference. We are loking to improve the dry time between our ink to substrate, and this unit came up. My question to you, is do you see significantly improved dry times or set-off protection with your powder unit. If you were to run your powder unit 100% on an UWF sheet with heavy ink coverage, no AQ, and using IR, would you be confident there would be no setting off of the sheets? Thanks for any information you can provide,
