UV printing ink curing and varnish developments

Abstract

A FORM of ultra‐violet curing was carried out by the Egyptians more than 3000 years ago when mummies were prepared by coating them with a resinous material and then left in the sun to cure. However, great advances in this method of accelerated drying have only taken place in the last 14 years.
