Heidelberg to Introduce the DryStar LE UV Solution at drupa
Reducing the Hidden Costs of UV
While the traditional advantages of a dry UV-printed sheet are well known, what’s less obvious is that this benefit is achieved only at higher cost—of UV inks, of the UV investment, of the power needed to run the UV system itself, and of overall productivity stemming from the inherent instability of the UV process compared with conventional offset. Commercial printers thinking about getting into UV need to know how they will be able to compensate for these extra costs by answering questions such as:
- Can I achieve a greater market penetration with UV products?
- Can I achieve cost savings elsewhere throughout this process that outweigh additional consumable costs?
For those who answer “yes” to either or both of these questions—Heidelberg’s DryStar LE UV neatly balances the higher investment costs associated with UV printing with the prospect of higher profitability. Whether you’re entering the UV market or growing from within, this means more money and additional jobs for faster delivery, and the most flexible system with the fewest restrictions for your sales force.
