Sheetfed Drying/Curing — A Cure-All for UV Inks

Elinor Midlik, Prime UV: “Speed of cure and system reliability are two factors that should always be considered. A well-designed UV curing system is designed to cure UV inks and UV coatings, but not all UV curing systems are equal and cure at the highest speeds.”

Keith Tap, Grafix USA: “Look at the level of technology. Will the drying/curing system perform at the top rated press speed? Is the system built to last with minimal consumable costs? If these two questions still result in system parity, then we ask customers to consider the important intangibles behind the organization. These include the level of field service, technical phone support, process application support with hands-on demonstration, to name but a few.”
