H-UV LED PRINTING

High reactive H-UV Led printing is offset printing with an innovative drying system, using Komori’s smartly developed UV Lamp and highly sensitive UV ink.

The use of the H-UV LED lamp allows high quality printing possibilities and strong reliability as well as excellent economic performance and ecofriendly usage.

H-UVL is a technology which enhances colour management and there is hardly any rub off.

INNOVATION
Cassochrome’s specialty H-UVL possibilities:
Komori Lithrone GL640 – 72×102
6 colour + fixed dryer + flexible dryers

allowing the following printing possibilities:
— Full colour + 2 PMS
— Full colour + varnish (spot) + 1 PMS
— 6 PMS 

We can print on any paper stock from 50gsm up to 1 mm and we can even print on specialty materials like PET materials.

Also white as a spot colour and print full colour over it for printing on coloured paper stocks is possible.
Thanks to the implementation of 2 movable dryers in combination with the end dryer, we are opening up to all sorts of printing possibilities.

The position of the dryers can be chosen depending on the required printing effect. The extra intermediate drying allows us to realize other applications like printing white on textile paper to obtain a different cmyk outcome. 

Overall, H-UV L is a technology which enhances both colour and abrasionresistance of our print results.

SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY is our priority !

1.The H-UV LED technology is the most sustainable technology on the market  
        – No varnish needed anymore
                The paper is instantly dry so you keep the sensation of the paper without hiding it                        with varnish and it is environmentally friendly

        – No need of drying powder 

                This is not only a nuisance for health but also for the environment and gave the                            paper sheet a grainy feeling. 

        – Less usage of paper
                We only need 100 sheets to set the machines. This used to be 500 sheets per side.                      For the production of one book you easily save 8.000 sheets of paper 

        – No Odor 

               The inks react less with the paper thanks to the instant drying process

        – No heath emissions
                In comparison with UV printing

        – Less energy consumption
                LED lamps result in less consumption , 100 to 120 Watt instead of normal drying                        with 150 kWatt

2. Extra sustainable measures 
        – Solar panels
                Electricity is being generated by solar panels on our flat roof top and all electricity                      that needs to be bought in on top is green electricity.  

        – Less water usage
                The water that is used is purified rain water and is in a closed circuit so no water                        discharge 

        – All paper is being recycled
                This is not possible with other printing techniques like UV but H-UV printing can be                  fully recycled. 

        – No Ozone emission       
                This is the case with UV printing and is a nuisance to health and environment. 

        – New REACH legislation since 2019 in Europe        
                All inks, plates and other materials meet the necessary standards according to this                      new strict legislation in term of ecology.  

        – FSC paper – sustainable forestry
                All paper we buy in Europe is FSC certified which means that for every tree that is                      used, 2 new fast growing trees are replanted.
