What is UV Printing and What Can It Do for You?

Ultra Violet (UV) printing is different from conventional printing in a number of ways. The basic elements – ink and paper – are the same, but the overall process and the products involved are completely unique.  

In conventional printing, ink dries when solvents found in the ink evaporate into the air and absorb into the paper. UV inks, on the other hand, are cured on press via UV lamps. 

Combined with high-quality products, UV printing offers a wide range of benefits, making it the preferred choice for a wide range of unique and high-quality print work.

Garbage In = Garbage Out!

Never sacrifice quality – learn the importance of choosing high-quality products for your Pressroom

If you have spent any time in a press room or manufacturing facility, you may have heard the expression, “Garbage in = Garbage out.” In other words, the quality of your end product is only as good as the quality of the materials you use to produce it.

In order to provide your customers with a high-quality product, you have to invest in the quality of the materials you purchase for your pressroom. Unfortunately, many printers have learned this lesson the hard way.

Prior to the launch of the Unitrol 2500, chemical manufacturers were unsuccessful in producing a quality one-step fountain concentrate for the sheetfed department.

What Printers Really Need from Their Suppliers

“Customer satisfaction is a flawed idea,” says Wayne Renken, CEO of SensArray Corp., in an issue of Electronic Business News. How can that be?

VOC Considerations in Printed Board Fabrication Process Chemistry

On November 15 1990 President George Bush signed the Clean Air Act into law, legally restricting the output of selected air pollutants by cities and industry. The Act addresses multiple sources and types of air pollution, but for the purposes of this discussion, we will deal with the “VOC” [volatile organic compound] component of “ground level ozone”, resulting from the material choices and methods used in Printed Board fabrication. “Ground-level ozone (O3) is the major component of smog. Ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is formed through complex chemical reactions between precursor emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight.”

A simplified schematic of the reaction follows:
