MAN Roland Brings UV Capabilities to a Coldset Colorman Press at Herold Druck

In addition to applying more vivid color to the printed page, UV production equips presses to print on a wider variety of stock, including coated and glossy varieties, thanks to its quick drying properties. The process also provides superior ink adhesion and hardening compared to heatset production. And since UV utilizes light rather than heat as its drying activator, paper shrinkage is virtually eliminated. That’s a key consideration when a newspaper is producing hybrid products in which coldset- and UV-printed pages appear in the same publication.
