Recognising the fast growing development of UV LED curing and ink products in the narrow web flexo industry, the research and development team at Mark Andy is creating fully compatible print platform designs to integrate these latest curing solutions across the company’s leading lines of narrow web machines.
The company said that it realises that UV LED technology demonstrates an important evolution in curing or drying in narrow web and that it is continuing to show measurable advantages in energy usage, reduced heat load for thinner substrates, smaller footprints and clear environmental benefits.
By developing UV LED curing technology into its latest, award winning print platforms and traditional flexo machines, converter productivity and efficiency will be improved, increasing profit potential. The programme fully supports the mission of Mark Andy, which is to continue to focus on proven innovations that directly provide converters tools to improve their businesses.
