UV printing has been growing strongly in Europe in recent years. Now it is set to expand even more rapidly – at double-digit annual rates – due to lower operating costs. The costs are going down primarily because UV curing has become more energy efficient. Advances have been made in cutting the energy consumption of existing UV curing technologies. New low-energy technologies – in particular LED-based systems – are also transforming the future for UV. Ink producers are making a major contrib...
