Treat it Right

Corotec's (Farmington, Conn.) VP of Sales, Ron Seaman, says that a solid part of its business is in retrofit applications, and these include both materials suppliers and printers. With more use of water-based and UV inks, surface treating is required in more applications. Throw in the wide variety of additives used in film substrates, and the addition of inline bump treating is getting more common. Seaman adds that because of the overall market trends, corona treaters are typically installed on new presses.
