From humble beginnings in an 800 sq. ft. basement to a 450,000 sq. ft. facility, Mercury Print Productions has come a long way. Their latest milestone? Bringing UV coating in-house with the installation of a UV LED system on their Heidelberg press. This move has streamlined production, boosted efficiency, and opened up new revenue streams. 🌟

John Place, the owner, shares, “In the educational world, all the covers are UV coated, so we just saved a complete step by having LED UV-coated covers coming out in one pass.”

The team is thrilled with the results, and the return on investment speaks for itself. As Place puts it, “It’s performing well — we’ve never had a UV press before, so this is first for us, but it’s fantastic, it really is.”
