LED UV Curing Lamps for Thermal Inkjet

UV LED sources have become an indispensable tool in coding and marking applications.To meet the growing demand for advanced features, increased production speeds and environmentally friendly options, UVET has launched a compact and powerful UV LED curing lamp UVSN-108U that delivers superior performance for printing industries. This cutting-edge lamp revolutionizes the ink curing process with 160x15mm emission window and peak UV intensity of 8W/cm² at 395nm wavelength.

Unlike traditional UV lamps, the UVSN-108U utilizes environmentally friendly LEDs that can be instant on/off. This not only reduces energy consumption but ensures that the UV is only activated when ink curing is necessary. By significantly minimizing maintenance requirements and operating costs while maximizing throughput, this system is ideal for high-resolution TIJ printing.

One of the advantages of combining UV LEDs with TIJ is the ability to print on difficult and low-porosity surfaces. Traditional solvent-based thermal inkjet methods are often limited in their adhesion capabilities. With the introduction of UV LED technology, the modified thermal inkjet printing becomes chemical-resistant and achieves instant curing, resulting in higher yields and better adhesion. This technology is now suitable for a wider range of surface combinations, including polyurethane medicinal tubes, plastic bottle caps, grocery bags and so on.

Additionally, the advanced technology is also employed in the printing of films products. Films such as soft food packaging and candy wrapping paper significantly benefit from the instant curing properties of UV LED systems, ensuring accurate and durable prints. The versatility of this technology makes it a valuable asset in various fields.
