"When laminating large UV print jobs, our customers are faced with very tight deadlines and the 60 and 80-inch XL's are currently the only wide format UV coater on the market that can handle this", says Drytac President, Marc Oosterhuis. "The material goes straight from the client's printer to the liquid laminator and in no time they're able to get the whole job printed, coated and delivered to the customer."

Drytac's aqueous flood coater, the SmartCoater is available in widths 63" (1.6m), 86" (2.2m) and 128" (3.2m).

Many performance features have been added such as a TruSpeed Compensator, Dual Quick Disconnect Supply Tanks and an optional secondary IR heater/fan unit.
