UV LED curing technology will make great progress

LED curing is a technique of energy curing area is the most attractive. In 2008, LED curing technology debut at drupa, and caused widespread concern in the industry, many printing machine and ink manufacturers show this technology, their own at the same time, it has made some progress in the field of jet, Sun Chemical and INX? Digital is a leader in the field.

Drupa 2008 is the UVLED technology for the first time a show of concern, is also in this exhibition, inkjet technology has been hitherto unknown attention and achieved great success.

At present, the market demand for UVLED technology is very strong, digital printing has become the largest market of this technology, the innovation in the field of ink most, and the advantage of UVLED that can meet the needs of this area. Of course, LED technology in order to become the mainstream inkjet technology, it will take some time.

Although LED technology has appeared in a period of time, but the development of LED ink manufacturers is the main driving force to promote the technology development.

Ink enterprise main contribution to this technique is that ink. Early LED ink needs to be adjusted or re made to meet the requirements of LED curing, and now customers can be designed specifically for the UVLED curing equipment and ink.

UVLED technology has many advantages unknown. First of all, it has a very long life, generally can reach 20 thousand to 30 thousand hours. At the same time, the power consumption is very low, especially in the flexo and sheet fed printing, printing almost 50% of electricity; secondly, UVLED curing unit does not produce ozone, covers an area of small, integrated and easy to control, simple maintenance.

In addition, a LED lamp is also very important, it can not only reduce the complexity of the installation of UV curing light, but also can reduce the curing process on the environment, human health and safety impacts.

According to Sun Chemical Company, they can provide different LED UV ink curing unit in various industries, but most of the current LED lamps have been used in the field of jet.

Inkjet ink Department of Sun Chemical SunJet UV curing ink development leader in the field, but also for the development of LEDUV lighting technology made distinctions won in battle. With the development of curing lamp technology and the emergence of high-power spotlights, SunJet pioneered the development of a completely exposed LEDUV printing ink.

At Print09, INX? Digital company unveiled a short version of a narrow range of UV? LED printing machine, curing speed it can reach 80 feet / minute. Recently, the company has launched a UV curable pigment ink LED-INX to meet market demand.

In traditional printing ink, some ink manufacturers have seen the UV? LED growth potential, and make full preparations for the.

Almost all of the printing process can use UVLED technology, flexo printing is a good example, sheetfed offset market prospects are good, but for the high speed, large sheet printing machine, it is difficult to use this technology, and the promotion of economic factors on UVLED technology there are some effects.

Anyway, LED is one of the most popular technology in recent years, everyone wants to know how it works, and what are the benefits to customers. But the real choice of such equipment enterprises are relatively small, and the economic downturn, lack of liquidity of the enterprise has a great relationship.

In addition to the LED curing technology is extremely respected outside the jet field, this technology also began to penetrate UV UV flexo printing and lithographic printing field. At present, the price of LED is still very expensive, the production of special ink raw materials are relatively rare, so this technology in the next few years there is still much room for development, the price is expected to further reduce.
