UV Printing: Can You Afford To Ignore It?
Other important advantages of instant drying with UV are faster turnaround times and non-marking or smudging on the finishing equipment or the non-porous substrates. You now have the option to back up the job right away, no matter what the run length, and/or send the job straight to the bindery. This will enable you to not only save the valuable floor space in your building but also not have the worries of blemishes on a cutter or folder.
