Abstract:

A method and system is provided for reducing condensation within an enclosed print arch of a printing press. The system includes at least one dehumidifier operable to create a dehumidified air flow directed into the print arch to reduce the humidity level within the print arch. The dehumidified air flow is selectively provided to a location at an infeed end of the print arch such that the movement of the print stock aids in moving the dehumidified air flow. The system further includes at least one exhaust fan that is operable to withdraw an exhaust air flow from within the enclosed print arch. The exhaust air flow can be vented to atmosphere or recirculated to the dehumidifier. A controller is used to control the operation of the dehumidifier and the exhaust fan based on signals from a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor each mounted within the enclosed print arch.
