It features the elimination of processes requiring high-temperature dryers, as the ink is instantly cured by irradiating it with EB. Furthermore, as this printing method contains almost no organic solvents, it significantly reduces emissions of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Consequently, compared to gravure printing<em>, <\/em>which is the mainstream method in Japan, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions during the printing process by approximately 16%.<br><br>Although not specified in Toppan Holdings\u2019 press release, the EB offset press that Toppan has adopted this time is believed to be <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/comexi.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/comexi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">COMEXI<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s CI Evolution.
