In the printing industry, manufacturers are seeking alternatives to two traditional curing and drying methods: one is the thermal, messy and toxic conventional drying method, and the other is the conventional UV curing method that requires environmental conditioning. Therefore, the curing method of LED UV curing lamps has been widely adopted.

Adding LED UV curing lamps to printing presses brings game-changing benefits, some of the most prominent are as follows:

Ink cures instantly, eliminating the need for drying time or powder.

Printers can expand substrate products to include plastics and other materials that do not absorb ink.

Heat-sensitive substrates can be printed safely with quality results.

UV inks contain no solvents, so LED UV curing eliminates the release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and avoids environmental problems caused by them.

Energy costs and heat-related hazards of thermosetting drying can be bypassed.
Value-added coatings can be used effectively.

High-end printing effects, such as pinning (also known as “penetration”), are now achievable with LED UV curing. Further development in this field will rapidly broaden creative applications and potential.
