Tukaiz--"Not Just Prepress Anymore!"
"With the CoCure system, we can UV coat in-line with only one interdeck station, which is between the last printing unit and the coater. By doing that, it sets up the ink and dries it. So when the UV coating is applied, and it goes through the UV lamp, the coating is dried onto the sheet.
"The unique thing is that if we don't want to do UV coating, we can pull out the cartridge and do aqueous coating—all just by changing a cartridge," Dombrowski notes. "There are a lot of benefits to this technology: You can do either UV or aqueous; the sheet gets as much gloss in one pass as it would off-line; and there is a savings in time and money because you don't have to send the job out. Plus, it's more convenient for the customer not to have to deal with multiple vendors."
