PRESS DRYING/CURING--The ABCs of Press Drying

There's no acronym involved, but Grafix North America believes it has combined the best of all the coating processes with its innovative CoCure process. It provides—in one in-line press pass—a level of gloss and rub resistance previously thought to be obtainable only when running on a double coater or a full UV press. For existing UV coated work or to create a new market niche by providing customers with the uniqueness of UV, the CoCure process is a proven, cost-effective method. Printers with existing tower coater-equipped presses can produce a UV coated sheet in-line without an excessive capital investment in equipment or having to dedicate the press to UV work only.
