Can glazing replace laminating? In fact, in addition to the laminating process of the laminating machine, UV glazing can also play a certain role in protecting and decorating the surface of the printed matter. The two are very similar in many functions. Due to the relatively low cost of UV glazing, the development is relatively fast, and the product is very attractive, so it also has a certain market share in some post-press processing fields. Some people who are optimistic about UV glazing technology even believe that this technology can replace the coating technology and develop independently.
        In fact, this is just a wish of people. According to some printing companies that have applied UV glazing technology, the most widely used UV glazing is local glazing. Local UV glazing can improve the grade of books, but in most cases, this local UV glazing process is also in It is carried out after laminating the laminating machine, and the previous laminating process must be solvent-based laminating.
        In addition, there are still many deficiencies in UV glazing compared with laminator lamination. For example, the protective effect, folding endurance and abrasion resistance of UV glazing are not as good as those of film coating, and there are limitations in many fields, such as packaging boxes. UV glazing also needs to be invested in printing equipment and UV curing equipment, and the film has a ready-made equipment foundation and mature technology; in addition, some UV varnish will also volatile odors during the coating process, affecting the operator.

        Today's printing houses and publishing houses attach great importance to this process, and believe that in the printing of books and periodicals, UV glazing can replace the laminating process. However, in general, UV glazing still has limitations in many aspects, there are still many problems in the process, and it can not completely replace the coating process.
