So about a year ago the 70-employee printing, binding and fulfillment operation installed an Autobond Mini 36 SD T laminator. Then in September, it retrofitted an Autobond 36 SUV inkjet spot UV machine to run in-line with the laminator, where it is used to spot varnish book covers.
Because LED UV technology uses 80 percent less electricity than conventional UV and produces no ozone, the 36 SUV is environmentally friendly. It also runs cold, removing the fire risk.
