Breit Technologies -Cast to Cure printed holograms Breit Technologies distributes a patent pending process that creates Cast & Cure™ Printed Holograms and special effect materials, using UV/EB technology. The Breit system "prints" holograms using a UV/EB curable coating that is nipped into contact with a film which contains a holographic, or other micro-embossed image. This material is then cured via UV/EB energy, and the film is rewound off the coating. The shape of the image on the film is then set in the coating, and the film is re-usable multiple times. Advantages of this process include offering a much lower cost option for decorative print processes, elimination of the use of laminating films, and elimination of the metallizing layer to name a few. It is inherently a green process on several levels, it improves recyclability as it removed the lamination, the film is reusable multiple times, reducing carbon footprint, and the film itself is recyclable. The process also allows for the use of RFID tags, due to the lack of interference from the metallizing layer. It offers several security benefits of holograms, it can be spot applied, and image registered. View the article
