The last 45 years speak for themselves. During this time, our UV solutions have been used successfully all over the world. Thanks to our many years of experience, we have been able to equip thousands of sheetfed offset printing presses from all well-known manufacturers worldwide with our UV technology.
Our skilled engineering team and ten service branches operating around the globe are there to provide advice and support and optimise the various UV products specifically for each printing press and its requirements. Always focussing on high quality and reliability.
Our IST Campus offers comprehensive, intensive application support from application experts and laboratory systems. Here, sheetfed offset customers can test IST METZ technology under practical conditions and work with our experts to determine suitable process parameters for their application.
Tailor-made solutions
Tailored to the specific printing press
Adapted for sheet-fed offset printing applications such as packaging, annual reports, high-quality brochures, mailings, stickers and labels, phone cards, ID cards, flower plugs, window pictures
Designed for special applications such as in-mould labels, securities, banknotes, credit cards and various metal decorating applications
Designed for high industrial requirements and long-term use
Interchangeable concep, i.e. replacement of UV lamp with LED technology by using the same ELCs
Fast position change due to slide-in technology
Intelligent IPS control for additional functions, e.g. remote service
Precise temperature management for a long service life
LED UV solutions from IST METZ are continuously being developed to meet the requirements of sheetfed offset printing
LED solutions from IST METZ are used in numerous security printing applications and support reliable curing of security inks and coatings
LEDcure NX for sheetfed offset printing presses can be integrated into the machine control system
LED systems enable demand-based adjustment of LED output – through instant switching on and off, format-dependent switching in increments of up to 30 mm and cycling (switching off between sheets)
Thanks to special optics, our LED systems are designed for the distances of 50 to 150 mm between the light source and substrate required in sheetfed offset printing presses
The use of ELC ballasts enables interchangeable operation between LED UV and UV lamp units
Depending on the offset printing press, customized IR/hot-air units for different production requirements are available on request
Full integration of the IR/hot-air system into the machine is possible
Combination with other drying and curing technologies, such as UV lamps and LED UV, is possible
Customized IR/hot-air systems are available as a drying solution for direct inkjet printing on corrugated board
