Offset UV Curing Attachments

Conventional offset printing uses traditional solvent-based inks that dry slowly by evaporation, giving them time to absorb into the paper. The absorption process is the reason colors can be less vibrant. Printers refer to this as dry back and is much more pronounced on uncoated stocks.Curing is the chemical reaction that takes place until the ink film has reached its maximum level of performance for adhesion, as well as for abrasion- and chemical-resistance. Most pad printing inks dry very rapidly and are “dry to touch” within a few minutes of printing.
