The ability to print on a wide variety of substrates is one of the driving forces for UV inkjet, notes Farr. “Adding the variable UV print capability to our product line now enables users to print on substrates that other toner- or water-based inkjet technologies can’t. The UV-curable print heads can print on a wide variety of substrates, including coated stocks, films, foils, and mylar,” he says. For applications, Farr believes that UV variable print, combined with high-quality imaging capabilities, will create “a whole new dimension of product enhancement.”
