UV WEB OFFSET PRESSES -- Finding the Cure

More Advantages

Another UV advantage becomes most evident in direct mail applications, where post-processing is a critical component. First, UV inks are instantly dried to allow for immediate personalization via laser printers. Second, UV eliminates web shrinkage caused by the intense heat found in the typical heatset drying process, the result of which can affect fit between the printed material and the personalized message. Finally, because the UV process does not remove much of the web's moisture, cracking in an off-line folding process becomes much less of an issue than with heatset work.
