Default printing and ink drying problem

Hi!

i'm form Manila, Philippines and planning to build a 6 color carousel type printing press since this is not available in Philippine market...

my question is, if im gonna be using this kind of printing press using all 6 screens with different colors of course,

do i need to wait for couple of minutes before printing the next color or i could print the next color right away?

or do printing the next color right away might ruin the first print?

or do i need to use a special quick drying ink for that?




i needed to know this for me to know if this is gonna be a good investment...

inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe they are printing with process colors which can be and recommended to be printed wet on wet....no drying between colors...but standard plastisol needs to be flash dried before printing the next color...you can however print wet on wet if the colors dont touch each other..and your press holds registration.
