-- Faster throughput - Presstek DI-UV press inks dry instantly, which allows for immediate work-and-turn and delivery to post-press operations, such as folding and stitching. The result: faster turnaround time, especially when printing on plastic and other non-porous substrates.

-- Superior print quality - 100 percent of the UV ink is applied to the surface of the substrate and stays there after curing. Coupled with waterless printing, this means higher ink densities can be achieved as compared to conventional offset inks. Dot gain is minimal, resulting in superior printing on uncoated stock and on a full range of plastics and specialty substrates, including lenticular.

-- Durability - Lightfast inks provide increased durability when printing on foils, vinyls, films and plastics, offering superior scratch, rub and chemical resistance.

-- Reduced labor and waste - UV inks maintain consistency during the press run, which reduces labor and results in less run waste. Waste minimization becomes a very important cost savings benefit, especially when printing on an expensive specialty stock for specific UV applications.

-- Environmentally friendly - Presstek DI-UV waterless inks are environmentally friendly, because the inks do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Plus, Presstek DI-UV's waterless printing and on-press chemistry-free platemaking eliminates the need for water and dramatically reduces chemistry usage in the printing process.
