UV Printing — Seeing the (UV) Light

Over the years, Challenge Printing has tried a variety of UV inks (Wikoff, Central Ink, Sun Chemical, Kohl & Madden) in an effort to find the most effective solution for the various substrates it has run, McLaughlin points out. Its current UV pressroom consists of six- and seven-color Heidelberg presses equipped with IST/Technotrans UV systems. Approximately 15 percent of Challenge's printing business now includes UV work.
