When There's No Cure

If off-line testing or other factors indicate an incomplete cure of the ink, the next approach is to check the curing system's UV output. A first step for converters could be the use of tape indicators, says Jeff Bade, sales manager for Primarc UV Technology (Phillipsburg, N.J.). "Tape indicators can be a fast and effective method for comparing setups. Tapes can be easier to use in web and sheet-fed applications."
