Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling all the printing units of a press given the performance of each of its dryers. In particular, the system computes the maximum speed at which it can produce given the ink and paper characteristics and the print coverage of each color separation and chooses a printing speed compatible with each dryer given what each dryer has to dry. In practice, this is about printing at the maximum speed of the slowest dryer. Once the print speed is set each dryer is optimized to use less power, by reducing the speed of the fan in the dryers and by recirculating as much air as possible in in the dryer while keeping the solvent concentration at a safe level.
