Coldset Web Offset -- No Heat, No Sweat

With production speeds of UV inks increasing to near heatset levels, less heat in the coldset process results in less web distortion, according to Andrew J. Fetherman, product amd national accounts manager, Muller Martini USA. He notes that coldset presses have greater color flexibility through the use of turn bars, while UV inks are more efficient with a generally faster makeready process. Press waste is reduced, resulting in higher productivity.
