FIRST Friday Episode #11 is here!

What goes into curing UV, LED, and EB inks, and why does it matter for the future of packaging?

As low migration technologies continue to evolve, understanding cure performance, formulation considerations, and end-use requirements is becoming increasingly important for printers and converters.

In this episode, special guest Dr. Kaylib Rhinehart of Siegwerk joins Chris Standifer and Kenny Tucker to discuss the technical aspects behind these ink systems and what emerging developments could mean for food packaging and sustainable applications.
