Lewisburg Printing Adds UV Capabilities with System from Grafix

“Our 56˝ press supports UV printing and coating, but not our 40˝ presses,” said Hale Hawkins, CEO. “In the past, when our customers wanted UV, we could print jobs that really fit better on a 40" press on the large-format machine. It wasn’t the most competitive use of equipment.”

The new press at Lewisburg Printing features an interdeck UV curing system, chamber/anilox coater and extended delivery. The Grafix Hi-Cure system includes three interdeck UV modules with 500-watts-per-inch bulb lamps. Docking stations on three units enable the interdeck modules to be moved easily to other printing units without tools. At the back end of the press are three UV lamps of 500 watts per inch each.
