Benefits & Technologies of LED Curing Systems for Label Printing
UV LED curing has evolved a long way since the initial discovery of aluminum gallium nitride LED at the turn of the century. This technology that generates energy in the 365-405 nm 'UVA' wavelengths is no longer insignificant as many people switch out mercury vapor lamp systems for this eco-friendly low temperature process. In this guide, we’ll look at the benefits and technologies of LED curing systems for label printing.What Is UV LED Curing?UV LED curing is a process that uses ultraviolet light-emitting diodes to quickly harden liquids. It has many applications but is mainly used in inkjet systems to polymerize images on objects ranging from paper, plastics, and 3-D parts.Mercury vapor lamps have long been the main lamp system in UV inkjet printers, and while they have their...
