Hi, i have a Heidelberg sm102 5color with IR Dryer, Grafix Powder spray (without aqueous coating or uv lamps)

I have a client who wants to print paper cups. The paper he uses is by Storaenso cupforma 1pe
We printed the job but after 5 days the sheets is not fully dry, if you rub the job the ink come out.

I have printed StoraEnso for liquid packaging cartons and the curing methods we used were UV and EB (Electron Beam) inks.
At that time we made sure we had good climate and humidity control of the Paper Board prior to printing and monitored our fountain solution very closely as we found this could effect the curing of our inks. Also we made sure our inks were not putting down a too thick of an ink film on the board.

The problem with our machine is that we don't have uv

You must use an ink set made for PE. We make cups every day on double side PE. No UV. Just conventional inks made for PE coated board and several different board types including Stora board.
