UV Printing — Horse of a Different Color

Marrs Printing, City of Industry, CA, latched onto UV printing eight years ago, just as its packaging and folding carton business began to grow. That business now represents between 60 percent and 70 percent of its overall job mix, and a significant portion involves high-end UV and foil embossing for clients in the cosmetics and healthcare industries. Until it acquired a six-color MAN Roland 700 2/4 perfector with full interstation UV earlier this year, however, the company had been jobbing out its UV work.
