    What is the difference between full UV machine and normal printing machine. Do we need to change Rollers if we want to print with normal offset ink on a full UV machine.

    You will need to use rollers that are compatible with the 2 different ink kinds, the automated roller & blanket wash systems if fitted cannot be used for both as the solutions will be different & of cause anti-setoff powder will be needed on conventional ink.

    Dear Mohammed
    Mrheidelberg is right
    But you need a special wash up blades for combi operation, special ink duck foil for UV operation and UV interdecks between some units in addition to End Of Press UV drawers if you have a UV coating unit.
