Coldset Web Offset -- No Heat, No Sweat

"Coldset is still a valid drying process for certain applications, but due to today's requirements for the printer to supply more high-density colors, the demand for presses without some type of dryer is low," Sillies remarks. "However, as a manufacturer, the integration of UV dryers is simple and can be done at the time of installation or years after the press has been in operation. Until inks and coatings are developed that can print high-density colors on coated and uncoated stocks at high production speeds, it is hard to beat the flexibility of the UV drying process."
