inert gas (In French séchage sous atmosphère inerte) creation of a nitrogen protective atmosphere in the radiation curing of ESH printing inks and in long-grain UV offset printing, to rule out the network-inhibiting influence of atmospheric oxygen. In UV printing, heat-sensitive films are printable and higher printing speeds possible through the simultaneously reduced heat input. This was first realized in 2002 in a KBA Rapida 105 installed by the Belgian plastic printer Crea.
