UV Web Printing -- Rays of Opportunity

UV has also garnered the eye of printers looking to move into the ever-growing realm of packaging. "Packaging has been a growing market for us, because of the increased eye appeal that UV coatings can bring to a product," Midlik claims.

And it's not just traditional heatset printers that are moving into UV. There is a growing interest among coldest printers. Prime UV is working with a number of coldest printers, mainly newspaper printers, who are retrofitting their presses with UV capabilities in order to bring a more heatset look to their product, particularly with inserts.
