Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica To Host Flexo Curing Seminar Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica and the Flexographic Technical Association will offer a new half-day semi- nar entitled “We Have The Cure,” scheduled for March 28 in the Dallas, Texas, headquarters of Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica. The event is open to all industry printer/converters looking to optimize their process. “Our goal is to help printers and converters deter- mine which curing technology is best for them and their market,” said Jeff Dietz,Vice President at Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica. “Both E-Beam and LED-UV are achieving great popularity. We’ve invited leading ex- perts to discuss the benefits and opportunities of each technique and how they relate to electron beam curing and LED-UV to the press, inks, and plates. We’ll have on hand an experienced brand owner to talk about trends in packaging and how it impacts the need for newer curing technology. The round table discussion will include two special guests: a narrow web printer and a flexible packag- ing printer who are both currently running E-Beam and LED-UV.” Covering Curing Topics to be covered over course of the seminar will include: • How to remove the need for drying time or pow- der with inks that cure instantly; • Expanding substrate offerings to include plastics and other materials that don’t absorb inks; • How to achieve quality, safety-conscious print re- sults with heat-sensitive substrates; • Why and how LED-UV lamps last significantly longer – (10x) than traditional UV lamps, saving time and money (LED-UV modules can provide 30,000+ hours of curing, when operated at the proper power capacity); • How to eliminate heat, ozone and mercury from the press room, making the process safer and improv- ing overall environmental impact; • How LED-UV curing eliminates the release of VOCs because UV inks are free of solvents and avoids the environmental issues caused by them; • How to bypass the energy costs and heat-related hazards of heatset drying; • Which value-added coatings can be used efficient- ly and effectively; • High-end printing effects, like drip-off (a.k.a. “strike through”) and how they can be achieved, and discussion of further developments in this arena that are broadening creative applications and what is pos- sible with printing.
