Offset printing is one of the main printing methods, with the development of UV LED curing ink and coating technology, UV LED curing system is gradually replacing the traditional UV curing. At present, there are also printing factories for offset printing press equipped with UV LED curing system.

1. Why can UV LED Curing System replace Mercury Lamp?

Mercury lamps have a shorter life, usually about 1000 hours.

Mercury lamp should be preheated before use, and can not restarted immediately after extinguished in the process of use, and then start slowly, affecting production efficiency.

Mercury  lamp spectrum is relatively wide, photoelectric conversion efficiency is slow, power consumption, increase the cost.

Mercury lamps contain toxic substances such as mercury and are not environmentally friendly.

2. What are the advantages of UV LED Curing Systems?

UV LED as a cold light source, no infrared thermal radiation, will not cause thermal effect and deformation, suitable for all kinds of thermal sensitive materials curing.

The service life of UV LED is long, generally about 20000 hours, which is more than ten times of the traditional mercury lamp, reducing the frequency of equipment and the impact on production caused by the replacement of equipment.

Energy saving, power consumption is only 30% of traditional mercury lamp curing machine, saving cost.

Immediately on and off, without preheating before use, the maximum power output can be reached immediately after opening, and the number of switching does not affect the service life.

Suitable LED UV Curing System Machine for Offset Printing can be customized according to the actual needs of customers.

Safe and environmental protection, no mercury, no heavy metal harmful substances, will not produce ozone, safe, environmental protection, energy saving, is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mercury lamp.
