The Print UV 2012 Conference is expected to attract another full-house audience from March 11-13, 2012, at the Wynn Encore Resort in Las Vegas. “Printers involved in energy curable have found this to be a fascinating forum and that’s why INX is continuing its support of this event,” said Jonathan Graunke, vice president - Energy Curable Technology for INX International.
The proliferation of emerging technologies has dictated a re-birth of the printing industry.
The printer's role prior to this digital era was to put ink on paper. The printing companies that are successful today are the ones who realize that their role is to keep an eye on technological breakthroughs and evaluate how they apply specifically to their customer base. It is no longer about just printing, but rather about selling integrated cross media solutions.
While a number of printers are trying to "get in the cross media game", this webinar is designed to share with you what is working and what isn't.
Key concepts that will be explored include:
- Critical resources required to successfully implement a cross media campaign
- Identifying the right decision makers
- Selling strategies for effectively delivering your value proposition
- Advice from practitioners that are evolving their business models on the opportunities and pitfalls

An all-new website has been launched to promote the countdown, agenda and preparations for the 5th Annual Print UV 2012 Conference, to be held March 11-13, 2012, at the Wynn Encore Las Vegas. More than 200 participants are expected at this years’ event as the market for UV printing continues to expand.
The glossary of terms provides a consolidated list of curing terminology specific to ultraviolet light emitting diodes. It is the hope of the association that the glossary will give potential users a better foundation with which to evaluate UV LED technology options.
Integration Technology, Lumen Dynamics, and Phoseon Technology have joined together to form the UV LED Curing Association. The group’s goal is to address the growing need for researchers, suppliers, integrators and end users to gain a better understanding of UV LED technology and the significant benefits it brings to numerous applications.
We were told upon the arrival of the sales and tech rep from the roller manufacturer that the $30,000 worth of rollers that were previously ordered and installed by my client were not compatible with full UV inks.
Starting out with the topic of LED UV, Steve Metcalf and Jon Graunke gave an update on where this new technology is currently and where it’s going. They noted that AMS successfully installed its first production unit in Japan on a four-over-four machine last fall, with more units to be installed here in the states this year.
Along with partner, MAG-D-PRINT (MDP) in Barcelona, AMS demonstrated a sheetfed offset lithography printing system powered by a single high-intensity AMS Peak LED-UV lamp and capable of drying ink at top production speeds on paper, foil and plastic stocks on a Sakurai 475SDw 30˝ offset press.
With yet another sold-out conference last week, Print UV 2011 opened with a record audience count. The attendee list included almost 170 participants with representatives from more than 60 individual printing companies, along with some of the leading vendors.
“Fearless creativity in the pressroom has to be nurtured for the longterm. When you stop creating and taking risks, you lose your edge.” So said Hans Ulland, co-founder and VP of sales for Air Motion Systems, in his opening remarks welcoming nearly 70 printers and a dozen or so vendors and sponsors to the fourth annual Print UV Conference, held March 6–8 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. The event featured two days of high-end discussion, information-sharing, and problem-solving—as well as a not inconsiderable amount of networking. “Print UV is a high-end networking event disguised as a conference,” Ulland
