UV WEB OFFSET PRESSES -- Finding the Cure

Sanden says its customers are looking for full programmability of the press in order to turn an otherwise daunting task of controlling print quality into a relatively simple and manageable process.

"Traditional web presses typically do not have this ability. The second key—no different from all press technology—is a fast makeready and low waste," Pitel says. "The third criterion is the increased need for a powerful ink train to allow the heavy coverage requirements of commercial applications, yet with a design specific to the requirements of UV ink."
