LAS VEGAS—Several presenters at the sold-out Print UV 2009 technology conference, held March 8-10 at the Wynn Encore resort, declared that UV and hybrid UV technology might well represent the future of the offset printing industry. Now in its second year, the 2009 edition of Print UV drew more than 150 registrants, a 50 percent increase over last year’s attendance, with vendor personnel accounting for just 30 percent of the total. 

Air Motion Systems, Inc. (AMS), a leading North American manufacturer of high-performance UV curing systems, IR/Thermal Air drying systems and related accessories for the printing industry, recently introduced its third-generation Peak 3 (P3) Web UV(TM) Curing System to the North American market at Graph Expo 2008, where it earned an overwhelmingly positive reaction from web print customers. The company is proud to report that early adopters have awarded the revolutionary in-line system high marks for the outstanding durability, high performance and total UV flexibility that are the hallmarks of AMS-engineered products.
