UV Curingand Heat Management for Printing Film Substrates

In recent years UV equipment manufactures have responded to the challenges presented by the use of thinner films in the label and packaging industries and the heat management issues that needed to be addressed to permit successful printing quality to be achieved. Continued profit pressure from 'end users and retailers is driving the supply chain including printers to look for ways of cutting production cast in order to ,be competitive. One option is to reduce film thickness even further, because lower gauge, means lower costs. This also suits the current marketing of products on the store shelf.
