    Can anyone confirm if it is just the rollers that need changing with the addition of a UV drier that will enable the press to be used for UV printing. The machine has the standard IR drier and rolandmatic dampening. Will the auto washers work with the UV inks? or does this system have to be modified?

    Thanks

    On some presses, a conventional ink auto wash system will need some modification(s) in order to be compatible with UV solvents. Not the wash-up blades themselves, but the lines that carry the solvent.
