Special Treatment

Surface treaters have become a vital part of package printers' day-to-day operations, especially in light of the growing popularity of films. And while the treating systems have evolved into advanced forms, costly problems can still arise.

The ins and outs

That's elementary. But printers need to know more than how to use the equipment—cost of operation and the treater's efficiency are just as important.
