Drying/Curing - UV
Phoseon has introduced the FireJetT FJ240 UV LED curing solution, its highest UV power air-cooled light array.
GEW debuted its ArcLED hybrid UV curing system to the international label industry at Labelexpo Europe. By developing ArcLED, the first truly futureproof hybrid UV curing system, GEW has addressed the needs of many printers.
Air Motion Systems, a supplier of UV and LED UV curing systems has reported a successful experience at GRAPH EXPO 15.
Amherst Label has retrofitted its eight-color Nilpeter FG3300 with a GEW UV system, consisting of eight E2C high-efficiency lampheads.
Nilpeter is the first press manufacturer to install the new ArcLED hybrid UV curing system from GEW, having incorporated it into three different FA-4* UV-flexo presses.
Phoseon Technology has achieved a major milestone for UV LED light longevity.
GEW Limited, a designer and manufacturer of advanced UV curing systems for the label printing, coating and digital printing industry is introducing the first truly futureproof hybrid UV curing system called ArcLED.
RadTech, the Association for Ultraviolet (UV) and Electron Beam (EB) Technology, has announced a new technology conference targeting the emergence of UV LEDs used with advanced materials.
Some UV units are designed to cure UV varnishes or inks under partially inerted conditions. These units may not be sufficient to properly run these silicones, although it may still be possible to produce suitable PSA labels and/or tapes by adjusting selected adhesive components. For quality adhesive laminates, a properly coated release liner cured with less than 50 ppm oxygen remains key.
Today’s package printers know that the more appealing a package looks to the consumer, the more they will reap monetary benefits. With this in mind, printers have been juggling the demands of high-productivity, easy maintenance, and environmental responsibility. It’s no wonder that because UV and EB technology allows for these benefits, it has been a major presence in the packaging industry. According to a RadTech International report titled, “Radiation Curing for Packaging,” the non-profit UV and EB organization expects that the currently estimated $480 million curing market for packaging will jump to $550 million by 2009. With UV/EB technology increasing momentum, converters must know
