N&N provides UV coatings servicing the following markets:
sheet fed offset, preprint, narrow web for labels, and soft tubes. N&N understands how web presses
normally use a low energy light source because of the long paper web on the
machine which differs from the higher, hot energy lights applied on sheet fed.
Today, many converters have both sheet fed and web presses in the same
location, and don’t want to carry large coating inventories. N&N has formulated
one UV coating that meets the needs of both sheet fed and web presses, which
helps the printer to cut back on stocking too many different inventories.
Increasingly, for higher quality magazine covers, the need is to leave no finger
prints over the UV surface. We have this on our range. |
