Push Solutions Gains Competitive Edge with LED-UV

With LED-UV, Push can now print higher value products on styrene, PET, and other premium substrates.

Environmental benefits were another major factor in the management team’s decision to move to LED UV, as Flagge explains, “One of the greatest things that you get when you print LED UV is the environmental impact — no VOCs, no ozone — we also run a lot less powder which is very healthy for the employees as well. Once we put in the LED UV system our production increased, but our cost of energy stayed the same, so we’ve been able to almost add 40% more production with a minimal increase in electricity.” 

“This is the future of offset printing,” says Flagge. “It will make it viable for years. Digital has been coming on strong. Large-format has been coming on strong. LED UV printing for the offset arena makes us relevant, vital, and sustainable.”
