[Problem] To provide a manufacturing method with which a cured resin film can be manufactured at high yield, and which effectively prevents the occurrence of defects such as wrinkles in the cured resin film.

[Solution] Provided is a cured resin film manufacturing method comprising: a first step in which an undried resin film is formed on a support, the undried resin film comprising a heat curable resin composition containing a curable resin and a solvent; a second step in which a curable resin film having a loss of 0.5-7 wt % on heating is formed by drying the undried resin film which has been formed on the support by using a float method to convey the undried resin, which is in the state of having been formed on the support, in a drying device; a third step in which a cured resin film is formed by heat curing the curable resin film; and a fourth step in which the support is detached from the cured resin film.

Systems and methods for concentric arrangement of web conditioning modules in a dryer of a printing system. In one embodiment a dryer includes a drum, first rollers positioned in an arc around the drum to define a web path between an entrance of the dryer and the drum, and second rollers positioned along the arc between the first rollers and the drum that reverse the web path between the drum and an exit of the dryer. The dryer further includes first web conditioners positioned along the arc and beyond the first rollers from the drum that direct energy toward a portion of the web path that is between the entrance of the dryer and the drum. The dryer further includes second web conditioners positioned along the arc between the second rollers and the drum that direct energy toward a portion of the web path that wraps around the drum.

Curing apparatus, image forming apparatus and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example curing apparatus includes a curing unit to heat an area adjacent a substrate travel path, the curing unit having a width less than a width of the substrate travel path, and a controller to reciprocate the curing unit within the substrate width.

A coat drying device dries a coated film that is coated on a continuously transported coating object having first and second parts, where the second part has a greater heat capacity than the first part. The coat drying device includes a drying furnace, a hot air supply device and a control unit. The coating object is conveyed inside of the drying furnace main body. The hot air supply device heats the coating object by blowing hot air to the drying furnace. The control unit controls the hot air supply device based on a heat capacity of the coating object. The control unit controls the hot air supply device such that, when heating the second part, hot air with a greater amount of heat is supplied to the second part than an amount of heat in the hot air that is supplied to heat the first part.

A drying kiln for lumber includes a kiln housing. The kiln housing includes a roof, a plurality of side walls supporting the roof above ground and cooperating with the roof to define kiln interior. The kiln interior includes a drying chamber. The drying kiln further includes a lumber drying system configured to dry lumber within the kiln interior.
