UV Printing — Horse of a Different Color

UV printing represents 35 percent to 40 percent of Color Ink's $34 million in annual sales--a steadily growing percentage, according to Murel. The company prints software boxes, uncoated direct mail, styrene signage and synthetic papers for advertising agencies, retailers, software developers and healthcare entities. Among the options Color Ink already offers its customers is laying down a thicker layer of UV coating with a special plate that gives the coating a textured look.
