It produces glossy effects and excellent rub resistance, like conventional UV, while affording the environmental benefits of printing with LED inks. Two UV lamps rated at 300 watts/inch accommodate most process-color jobs. Located in the delivery of the press, the metal halidedoped lamps eliminate the need for interdeck UV lamps, as well as the standard three-lamp, end-of-press drying system or immediate finishing. Lamps are cooled by a combined air and water cooling system. There is no need for ozone extraction. www.MvPrintResource.com/10307728 Merlin Humidification Systems technotrans AG (Booth 1864) is displaying humidification systems developed by Merlin Technology GmbH at GRAPH EXPO.
