The Rise and Rise of Print Finishing

Printing press manufacturers selling machines designed for UV printing use special dryer configurations such as IR and UV drying systems and cold-air units. These mean that sheets do not come off the press as hot as they did in the past and can now be processed immediately. Because machines of this kind are equipped with two coating circuits, the complex process of changing coatings can be eliminated. Another selling point is the ability of these machines to expand the range of coating material options to include metallic effects and even plastics.
