Toward a Painless Cure

James McCusker, president of Honle, says curing UV inks and coatings on shrink film requires UV suppliers to be sensitive to the heat generated by conventional UV systems. "The ACM UV system maintains a high UV peak intensity to the web, allowing successful curing while running the press at full speed. It also eliminates conventional UV equipment using a chilled drum, which can be a costly solution," he says.
