What are the problems with traditional litho-printing
- Dull imagery on uncoated papers
- Drying Problems
- Unnecessary coating
- Marking
- Longer turn-around times
- Loss of detail
Dull imagery on uncoated Paper – Finally! The endless years of dull flat images lacking detail and definition on uncoated papers, recycled papers and open carton board are now over. H-UV prints on top of the material and dries instantly. This gives a crystal clear image which we call Ultra HD Print.
What are the advantages of H-UV Technology
- Massively Improved print quality on all uncoated/recycled materials
- Print with more punch and depth of colour on coated material
- No rubbing, no marking and no complaints
- Quick turn around times if required
- Instant drying
- Very High gloss coatings
- Improved opacity with reduced show through than conventional litho-printing
- More energy efficient which helps to reduce our carbon foot print
What is the downside of H-UV?
None! We are not joking you will see nothing but improvements to the print quality.
Our H-UV Press in Production
H-UV — Innovative UV Curing System
The Komori H-UV System is an innovative UV curing system that uses a UV lamp developed with Komori know-how and high-sensitivity UV ink. With just one lamp mounted in the delivery, this system offers high print quality and reliability as well as excellent economic and eco-friendly performance.
Marking
This comes from having to print both sides of the sheet, when passing back through on the second side, the still wet ink is prone to marking your sheet. Ultra HD Print enables the ink to be dried via a UV light source which instantly cures the ink to ensure no marking can occur, the ink is dry before it even lands in the delivery, meaning 100% mark free print on every sheet.
Shorter Total Turnaround Time
Extremely effective in shortening the time from receipt of materials to delivery.
Improved Quality due to Powderless Operation
None of the troubles associated with the scattering of powder granules and much easier post-press.
Elimination of the Dry-Down
Simple color determination, so printing with client in attendance and production printing are easier.
Environmentally Friendly – The H-UV system contributes tremendously
to a better environment inside the printing plant because it does not discharge ozone, does not use powder and is nearly odorless.
Effective Space Utilization
Since the H-UV system is compact, installation space is minimal and no area is needed to place printed items that have not yet dried.
