Corrugated-board unit for manufacturing corrugated board, comprising a) a material-web output device for outputting a material web, b) a conveying device for conveying the material web along a material-web conveying path, c) a printing device, disposed downstream of the material-web output device, for producing at least one printed region on the material web, d) a printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c), disposed downstream of the printing device, for drying the at least one printed region, e) a connecting device, disposed downstream of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c), for connecting the printed, dried material web to at least one further material web to produce a printed corrugated web, and f) an information processing device that varies the start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web dependent upon a material-web conveying speed of the material web, characterised in that g) the start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web is influenceable by the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) i) by varying a distance between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or ii) by varying a partial conveying path travelled by the material web between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or iii) by varying a drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) by displacing the drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) at least partly. a) a material-web output device for outputting a material web, b) a conveying device for conveying the material web along a material-web conveying path, c) a printing device, disposed downstream of the material-web output device, for producing at least one printed region on the material web, d) a printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c), disposed downstream of the printing device, for drying the at least one printed region, e) a connecting device, disposed downstream of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c), for connecting the printed, dried material web to at least one further material web to produce a printed corrugated web, and f) an information processing device that varies the start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web dependent upon a material-web conveying speed of the material web, characterised in that g) the start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web is influenceable by the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) i) by varying a distance between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or ii) by varying a partial conveying path travelled by the material web between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or iii) by varying a drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) by displacing the drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) at least partly. i) by varying a distance between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or ii) by varying a partial conveying path travelled by the material web between the printing device and the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b), and/or iii) by varying a drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) by displacing the drying power of the printed-region drying arrangement (40; 40a; 40b; 40c) at least partly.
