Not quite on the time there. Inkjet printers can dry much quicker than
that. Our new videojet that we just got at work dries in 3 seconds. Of
course, it is $8K. They have one for half the price, but the dry time is 30
seconds. The inks available can cut the dry time down even more, so I would
say more like 20 seconds or less than 20 minutes. I would be willing to bet
that the ink dries on contact, as you VERY RARELY see smudged print jobs.
The demos in Legoland are supposed to SIMULATE production, not replicate it.
It is just there to convey an idea of the process.
