Abstract
A method for drying a fluid film, which is applied to a surface of a substrate and includes a vaporizable liquid, includes following steps: transporting the substrate on a transport surface of a transport device along a transport direction through a drying device; vaporizing the liquid by way of a heat source having a heating surface, wherein the heating surface is disposed at a distance of 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm opposite to a surface of the substrate; and removing a vaporized liquid in a direction of the heat source.
