Offset Printing - UV/LED Curing

 McLean Packaging, a comprehensive provider of rigid set boxes, folding cartons, corrugated displays, and thermoformed packaging solutions, recently installed a Speedmaster XL 106-10+LYYL from HEIDELBERG at its Moorestown, NJ folding carton manufacturing facility.

Since the products it manufactures are printed on expensive substrates, Primary Color invested in adding LithoFlash from Lithec to its sheetfed offset press, allowing them to reduce their makeready waste. 

In March, U.K.-based Caps Cases became the first business in the world to acquire the EFI Nozomi 14000 LED Digital Corrugated Press.

Pioneer Press will be installing an eight-color RMGT 9 Series perfecting press with LED-UV curing this summer.

UV-LED technology is a viable option for sheetfed offset printers seeking to maximize pressroom productivity and shorten delivery time.

Oliver Inc. has invested in a seven-color, 57˝ Koenig & Bauer Rapida 145 press with UV for its facility in Hauppauge, N.Y. The device is expected to drive production and capacity by 20%.

Since its installation in 2017, Cedar Graphics' Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106 LED press has decreased makeready times by 50% and has reduced makeready stock by 35% to 40%. It has also made the Hiawatha, Iowa-based company more efficient with an improved turnaround time, and it has brought in more short-run packaging work for the pharmaceutical market.
