Our FocusUtilize extraordinary UV Printing technology
UV 10-‐color + coating unit with perfector
UV Waterless Hi-‐Definition Printing
Utilize Environmental impact assessment method
Carbon calculator “Printing Goes Green”
Case studies to improve eco-‐efficiency

UV 10-‐color + coating unitmanroland R710 TAPLVSpecially configured UV 10-‐color press can print 5-‐color/5-‐color plus UV coating varnish with perfector on paper and can print 10-‐color straight on plastic. “It goes beyond your imagination.”

UV 10-‐color + coating unit (cont’d)manroland R710 TAPLV There are so many printing patterns for paper (incl. aluminum vapor-‐deposited paper) and plastic (PP=polypropylene, PET=polyethylene terephthalate). “Imagine, limitless possibilities.”

UV Waterless Hi-‐DefinitionNo VOC, No time consuming process
Volatile organic compound (solvent) is not included in UV inks
Postpress can be done right after printing thanks to UV inks
No dampening solution, No water additivesWater repelling inks is not used, silicone is utilized instead
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and other chemicals is not used
Less ink usage, More detailed expressionStaccato 10-micron dots can reduce ink usage around 20-30%
Staccato 10-micron dots can create super “sharpness”

UV Waterless Hi-‐Definition (cont’d)No adverse effect on water resource
BOD of developing fluid is only 0.8% of Conv. printingBOD: biochemical oxygen demandthe amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.(Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/)
COD: Chemical oxygen demandCOD test is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water. Most applications of COD determine the amount of organic pollutants found in surface water (e.g. Lakes and rivers) or waste water making COD a useful measure of water quality.(Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/)
COD of developing fluid is only 1.4% of Conv. printing

UV Waterless Hi-‐Definition (cont’d)Advanced screening tech. for high-‐end printing
Staccato 10-‐micron screenKodak Staccato is advanced, second-‐order FM screening technology. Staccato screening produces high-‐fidelity, continuous tone images that exhibit fine detail and an extended color gamut, creating a photographic experience free of visible printing artifacts, such as subject moire and rosettes.(Reference: http://graphics.kodak.co.jp/KodakGCG/uploadedFiles/Products/Color_and_Screening/Staccato_Screening/Staccato%20Brochure%20ENG.pdf)
The angle and frequency of half tone dots in conventional AM screens can cause subject moire, screening moire and unstable rosette structures. Additionally, fewer and larger minimum dot sizes in highlights and shadows in AM screens can result in loss of detail and increase in graininess.(Reference: http://graphics.kodak.co.jp/KodakGCG/uploadedFiles/Products/Color_and_Screening/Staccato_Screening/Staccato%20Brochure%20ENG.pdf)

Essential feature of Printing Goes Green (PGG) CLOUD
Aims to utilize PGG as “Carbon calculator”Reducing CO2e of manufacturing process by improving “hot-‐spots”Squeeze lead-‐time and change materials
Leading print-‐buyers (consumers) to “Low-‐carbon lifestyle”
CO2e figure can change people’s subconscious
8
7-‐core element of Printing Goes Green (PGG) CLOUD
Calculating based on “clouding”
Calculating based on English/Japanese/Thai
Calculating by cumulative/allocation method
Calculating “full range of life cycle”
Calculating material input/output precisely
Calculating by massive database
Calculating results are summary/detailed (2-‐type)
