UV Printing — Horse of a Different Color

“Demand had grown to where we no longer were comfortable outsourcing our UV work,” says company President Walt Marrs. “Bringing it in-house enables us to maintain better control over our scheduling and the quality of the work.” Marrs prints short-to-medium run lengths on substrates from conventional paper to foil to 30-pt. board or plastic, PVC, polypropylene and APET. While the company utilizes mixed-mode, conventional/UV blankets for all of its work, it uses no hybrid inks whatsoever. Marrs also tries to schedule its UV work back-to-back to minimize the loss of time, due to more frequent changeovers.
