Germany : Hubergroup has claimed that it has invented an innovative technique, which will present a solution to UV ink curing problems. The new NewV cure, Hubergroup said is a science-based, patented solution for determining the curing degree of UV inks as well as its EuPIA compliant UV ink portfolio, which was presented at the IST UV Days 2019.
“Our new science-based approach provides an easy and objective evaluation of UV curing within a few minutes,” said Dr Carina Sötebier, head of central analytical lab at Hubergroup. “To determine curing level of UV inks, we use a test liquid and an electronic test device. By testing a predefined extract, NewV cure can identify the quality level of a printed product.”
“With NewV cure, we end all subjective methods of curing determination and create a new standard for quality management in UV curing,” added Roland Schröder, product manager UV at Hubergroup. “It will help to reduce waste and rejects due to incomplete curing and increases security in packaging production. As our previous tests were very successful, we are excited to present first results with NewV cure to IST UV Days attendees.”
