Printing and Converting Conference Program at CPP EXPO 2011

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.—UV/EB for Food Packaging: Can/Should/Must We?
Presented by: Don Duncan, Director of Research, Wikoff Color Corporation

UV and EB printing technology for food packaging is a white-hot issue in 2011. With the discovery of some UV ink residues in food, which was found in Europe a few years ago, more governmental activity, in the form of regulations and more active interest, has been a great concern to printers. Large consumer product companies also have taken an active stance, sometimes in the absence of complete information, to produce lists of acceptable and unacceptable ink raw materials for food packaging. We will try to take a balanced view of all the issues and decide where the best fit is for UV/EB in food packaging.
