The goal is simple to say, but tough to pull off. You need to pull the moisture out fast—without scorching the glass or changing the color of the ink. Old-school convection drying? Way too slow, and it risks messing up the color. Our approach is different. We use focused infrared energy that goes right through the wet ink and heats the water from the inside out. So you get a dry surface in no time, and the color stays exactly as it should.</p>
