UV Printing — Horse of a Different Color

Color Ink, Sussex, WI, began printing UV when it installed the first of two UV-equipped presses, a six-color KBA Rapida with in-line UV and aqueous coating—on September 12, 2001, the day after the World Trade Center collapsed and just prior to the downturn that propelled the U.S. economy into recession. That press, says company President Tom Murel, “gave us the ability to keep our heads above water and expand our throughput with UV-printed products.”
