Left to itself when stacked on pallets on the factory floor, print takes on average a day to dry. Then it can be put back through the press for perfecting or coating. Or a single-sided sheet can be folded, creased and cut in the next step of its journey without danger of scuffing or scratching. However, in this printing game time costs money and sometimes 24 hours is too long to wait. For those in a hurry there’s always UV drying.
