Either you increase the number of 'machines' (lines in this case) or you increase your drying area foot print to compensate.
Once you do the latter you can produce at the same rate assuming all products produced are identical) since you the ones coming out the dry end do so at the same speed as the input end.
Edit: This does assume production demand is constant, longer pipelines make responding to demand more difficult.
* Water based paintings dry much faster than oil based paintings
* The durability is pretty much the same
* The scratch resistance of oil based paintings, once fully dried, is light years better than that of water based paintings.
In some aspects the green movement has brought us water based colors where you could water your home plants with but are inadequate for some (read: wide) range of application.
