In printing & packaging industry, Sheet-Fed-offset has been popular and trending technique of printing since some decades. This research paper throws light on comparison of rub resistance on sheet fed offset on coated gloss paper printed with UV & conventional inks. To test the rub resistance & MEK some sheets were printed on art paper having line images, half tones and solid images with both UV & conventional inks. The samples were tested using digital scuff tester. The results indicated that UV inks printing has more rub resistance compared to conventional in through sheet fed offset.
