IST METZ is using drupa to celebrate a special milestone in the company’s more than 45-year history this year, in Hall 1/A24 and A24-1.
While the first UV installation rolled off the production line in Nürtingen in 1977, this year marks a special highlight for IST METZ and IST INTECH: having grown to become a leading provider in UV curing, they will be able to hand over the 100,000th curing device (UV, UV LED and Excimer) to a customer in the next few weeks.
Their team has come up with a special highlight: the Heidelberg Speedmaster CX104-6+LX3 will demonstrate to visitors three times a day, how the use of UV lamp systems in packaging printing and UV LED systems in commercial printing are shaping today’s print industry. The results will be illustrated, as the specially developed print product can already be looked forward to.
The ‘HotSwap’ product concept will also be a focal point of the IST trade fair stand. More flexibility for changeovers in sheetfed, web and narrow-web printing thanks to suitably equipped units make it possible to switch between UV lamps, UV LEDs or hybrids – depending on the job and the desired end product.
