UV LED curing technology has arrived. It is no longer an emerging technology, but one that is bringing a host of advanced printing capabilities.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UV LED light sources<\/a> are suitable for high-speed curing in narrow-web presses and other forms of printing<\/a>, such as screen, digital and offset, offering many benefits to printers and converters making it an appealing option. Although there is an expense associated with upgrading to UV LED equipment, the return on investment can be quite fast due to the overall cost savings and operating benefits. Here, Phoseon Technology sets the record straight with some of the myths from the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth:<\/strong> UV LED is too new and unproven for current use.
Reality: <\/strong>The time to incorporate UV LED is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UV LED light sources are quickly becoming standard in printing and coating equipment as the lamps are ideal where larger lamps simply are not practical. Today, tens of thousands of UV LED light sources are reliably running equipment for dozens of applications, including flexographic printing, screen printing, narrow web printing, packaging containers, coatings, adhesives, interior-decor laminates, and large-format inkjet printing. Recent advances in UV LED curing technology<\/a> and compatible, eco-friendly inks have fostered the development of a new generation of bench-top inkjet printers. These new UV-LED-equipped printers are being used to custom decorate everything from laptop covers, smartphone cases, and pens to golf balls, awards, and water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these devices, small sign shops and printing firms can diversify their product lines and enter new markets without having to expand their floor space or expose employees to VOCs harmful UV C radiation, or infrared radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth: <\/strong>The choice of inks is limited.
Reality: <\/strong>Virtually all the major vendors offer inks<\/a> compatible with UV LED lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today there are a growing number of suppliers developing\ninks that work well with LED technology; this has resulted in substantial\nadvanced capabilities for UV printing. Material suppliers have responded to the\ndemand, formulating raw materials that absorb energy corresponding to the wavelength\nof UV LED light sources. The number of ink manufacturers that now offer UV LED\ninks also continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth: <\/strong>UV LED does not perform well.
\nReality: <\/strong>It offers expanded capabilities. UV LED light sources are ideal\nfor narrow-web presses, high-speed curing in roll-to-roll screen printing, container\ndecorating, industrial flatbed presses, and other forms of printing. Users of\nUV LED curing systems can process a variety of materials (including thin and\nheat-sensitive substrates) at maximum production speeds with low-input power. This\ndrastically reduces energy consumption and the surface temperature of the\nitems. Better cures: Users report that UV LED curing lamps produce better cures\nand better adhesion on a wide range of materials. They can also achieve higher speeds\nwith black and white inks. Less heat: The lamps do not radiate infrared waves,\ntherefore they produce significantly less heat than arc lamps (60 degrees\nversus 350 degrees). As a result, chill rolls or plates are not required when printing\non heat-sensitive or thin substrates. Finer controls: On larger presses, UV LED\nlamps enable finer controls; operators can choose to turn on only the portion\nof the lamp needed for a specific job. More compact designs: Floor space is valuable\nin all types of businesses. Compact units can also easily be built into\nindustrial machines for curing screen-printed inks on plastic and glass\ncontainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth:<\/strong> UV LED is\nan expensive way to ‘go green’
\nReality:<\/strong> Regulations are forcing\nfirms to get serious about safety and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rising tide of government regulations is causing all\ntypes and sizes of manufacturing firms to be more proactive in adopting safer,\nless toxic equipment and processes. This is where UV LED comes in. Besides\nbeing mercury-free, UV LED lamps generate no ozone, and about 50 per cent lower\nCO2 emissions. Studies have shown that in certain applications, replacing mercury\nlamps with UV LED lamps can lead to 25 tons of CO2 reduction. UV LEDs\ncontribute to workplace safety because they don’t generate dangerous UVC radiation\nor excessive heat or noise. Companies that have already installed more\nenvironmentally sustainable printing processes report that it has helped them attract\nyounger workers and more customers that prefer eco-friendly processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
