Hubergroup launches NewV set UEL 5000 ink

NewV set is Hubergroup's UV ink system for offset printing and can be used for various types of commercial printing on absorbent substrates. NewV set demonstrates its strengths in high-speed UV sheet-fed offset printing machines. It is available for various curing technologies.

Its special features include high colour intensity, fast, immediate curing, high dampening tolerance, and rapid attainment of colour and water stability. It can be used in UV sheet-fed offset printing. Suitable substrates include coated and uncoated papers and boards, as well as thermal papers (after preliminary testing).

The relaunch of the colour series NewV set UEL 4000 and UEK 5000 is now being introduced across all markets, and is tested in Europe and North America.

NewV set UEL 5000 is suitable for LED-UV and iron-doped UV offset printing, distinguished by low build-up on impression cylinders after the turn, very high reactivity and fast curing, as well as the rapid establishment of a stable colour-water balance. 

This also recommends itself for all types of printing presses with or without colour mixers and is ideal for isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-free printing. The NewV set UEL 5000 features low dot gain, good transfer, and high mechanical film resistance. The colours are compliant with ISO 2846-1 and ISO 12647-2. NewV set UEL 5000 is suitable for laser printing, hot foil stamping, and cold foil lamination (pretrial required) and optimised for NBR and EPDM rollers.
