Lewisburg Printing in Lewisburg, TN, has strengthened its UV printing capabilities with the addition of the Grafix Hi-Cure UV-curing system on a seven-color, 29x41" sheetfed press. The new press will replace two existing 28x40" machines and share the pressroom floor with 56" and 73" models.
Lithocraft’s philosophy has been to go with full-sized sheetfed presses to help differentiate itself from many local shops that had taken the half-size route. Three years ago, it became clear that continued success would depend on entering new markets. After researching UV for about a year, Lithocraft decided to start the vetting process for a UV press.
Air Motion Systems | AMS UV announces the general availability of a high-speed LED UV drying system for sheetfed offset printing that installs quickly on presses from half size to large format and from all leading manufacturers.
Graphic Art Systems President Michael King is scheduled to speak on Monday, March 12, during an afternoon seminar entitled “Cold Foil and UV: A Perfect Combination.” The session covers the state of cold foil technology, and how and where to get started in this popular process.
The Print UV 2012 Conference is expected to attract another full-house audience from March 11-13, 2012, at the Wynn Encore Resort in Las Vegas. “Printers involved in energy curable have found this to be a fascinating forum and that’s why INX is continuing its support of this event,” said Jonathan Graunke, vice president - Energy Curable Technology for INX International.
The proliferation of emerging technologies has dictated a re-birth of the printing industry.
The printer's role prior to this digital era was to put ink on paper. The printing companies that are successful today are the ones who realize that their role is to keep an eye on technological breakthroughs and evaluate how they apply specifically to their customer base. It is no longer about just printing, but rather about selling integrated cross media solutions.
While a number of printers are trying to "get in the cross media game", this webinar is designed to share with you what is working and what isn't.
Key concepts that will be explored include:
- Critical resources required to successfully implement a cross media campaign
- Identifying the right decision makers
- Selling strategies for effectively delivering your value proposition
- Advice from practitioners that are evolving their business models on the opportunities and pitfalls
