US bills are currently printed via a two-part process, at least for denominations of $5 and up.
The first phase actually consists of several separate sub-steps that are performed in a single pass through a large machine called a Simultan Press. It applies the various background colors and certain design elements that are common to all bills of a particular denomination.
After each sheet of bills emerges from the Simultan Press it's stored for 72 hours to dry. The sheets are then put through the second phase of printing which adds the portrait, serial numbers, and other parts of the design not printed in the first pass.
