An additional feature that Van Alstine highlighted was the IST America UV curing system incorporated into their new Gallus EM 280. This enhanced UV curing system has the chilled roll system built into the lamp system, as opposed to being separate systems, he says. This provides a tighter process—less movement of the film, less distortion, and tighter registration—notes Van Alstine. The key result for Macaran is the ability to run thin, unsupported films.
