Offset Printing - UV/LED Curing

Slate Group plans to expand its creative services offerings in 2023 with the installation of its third Komori LED-UV sheetfed press.

Chris SoRelle, CEO of Pioneer Press in Greeley, Colorado, talks about the benefits of company’s new RMGT sheetfed offset LED-UV press.

Sheetfed offset printers are increasingly embracing the benefits LED-UV curing technology provide.

CastlePierce has purchased an eight-color Komori Lithrone GX40 advance press to meet increased demand in folding carton packaging.

A recent event held at Pioneer Press, in Greeley, Colorado, featured the company’s new 8-color RMGT 9 Series LED-UV perfecting press.

Kirkwood made a significant move to increase UV printing, with an 8-color Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 UV perfecting press.

This year’s RMGT ELITE LED Users Group focused on the sustainability of LED print. Leading off the program was Gary Jones, director, environmental, health, and safety affairs at PRINTING United Alliance.

The primary driver in the move to UV printing is wanting to address new high-end commercial printing markets, and to increase the volume of work going through print operations. UV curing enhances the print quality, and produces sharper and cleaner images with a multitude of different finishes available.

Primary Color, a leading print provider in the horticultural market and for consumer product groups in the wine and spirits market, recently installed a five-color RMGT 9 Series press with UV curing.

Pioneer Press, a leading commercial printer in the greater Denver, CO, market is installing an eight-color RMGT 9 Series perfecting press with LED-UV curing in 2022.
