Wednesday 14. February 2018 - RMGT is proud to recognize the 10-year anniversary of the release of LED-UV curing for offset print by Ryobi Graphic Systems (which formed a joint venture company with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to form RMGT in 2014).
This celebration will be held during the 11th Annual Print UV Conference, February 26-28, 2018, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference features technology tracks and roundtable discussions featuring the best UV printers and UV suppliers as they uncover the new ideas and growth opportunities that UV printing enables.
“In 2008, Ryobi Graphic Systems (now RMGT) in conjunction with Panasonic was the first press manufacturer in the industry to offer fully integrated LED-UV curing systems as a factory installed option for sheet-fed offset presses,” states Kian Hemmen, Sales Director for Print & Finishing Solutions, the Western Distributor for RMGT. “Our customers nationwide are leveraging LED-UV printing technologies to grow their business in creative ways. In addition to the benefits of powder-free printing, zero dry back, and curing on non-porous substrates; RMGT printers are introducing new coatings and printing on unique substrates such as PVC, synthetic paper, and styrene. We look forward to hearing our customers share their success stories and adding our voice to the dialogue at Print UV.”
