Hubergroup with UV innovations at IST UV Days 2023
From July 4 to 6, 2023, Hubergroup Print Solutions will be presenting its broad portfolio of UV inks and coatings for offset printing at the eleventh IST UV Days in Nürtingen. In doing so, the company will show its recently repositioned portfolio for non-absorbent substrates
At IST Metz UV Days 2023, Hubergroup Print Solutions will showcase its newly positioned portfolio for non-absorbent substrates, which is now formulated to be sensor-neutral and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)-free. Hubergroup will also be holding a session on "LED rocks Coldset" on July 4 together with printing press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer, UV equipment supplier IST Metz GmbH and the publishing house Aarauer Zeitung / CH Media. This round table format will focus on NewV News, Hubergroup's LED UV ink series for newspaper presses. On the first day of UV Days, Hubergroup will be all about energy-curing web offset printing. Thanks to the further development of UV LED lamp technology, high-quality, commercial-like print products can now also be implemented on rotary presses. Together with Koenig & Bauer, Aarauer Zeitung / CH Media and IST Metz, the printing ink specialist will be presenting the results achieved on Coldset presses as part of this partnership. Visitors to the in-house exhibition can thus gather impressions, examine samples and hear first-hand experiences.
At its booth, the company will also be presenting its broad portfolio for UV sheetfed offset printing. This includes UV inks and coatings as well as dampening solution additives that are perfectly matched to each other and suitable for a wide range of food and non-food applications. The NewV Poly (MGA) and NewV Tin (MGA) ink series, as well as the NewV Lac (MGA) coating series, have recently been formulated PTFE-free to meet the requirements of major brand owners and to be prepared for future specifications in global markets. Furthermore, the NewV Lac range of coatings no longer contains benzophenone, as the substance is considered controversial due to its potential carcinogenic effect. Last but not least, in the metal packaging sector, there is a new NewV Tin LED series, which includes UV inks and coatings for LED drying. Roland Schröder, Product Manager UV Offset at Hubergroup, sums up: "We have a number of innovations in our luggage and are therefore very pleased to be back at the IST UV Days. I cordially invite you all to visit us at our booth to discuss your requirements and our extensive products as well as services!"
