The basic principle of LED UV offset printing curing is that the photoinitiator in the ink absorbs ultraviolet radiation energy and is activated. The outer electrons of its molecules jump, generating active centers in a very short time. Then, the active centers react with unsaturated groups in the resin, causing the double bonds in the cured resin and active diluent molecules to break, resulting in continuous polymerization reaction and cross-linking to form a film. It belongs to a type of radiation curing method






In recent years, LED UV is gradually replacing traditional UV mercury lamps

1

The truly usable energy of traditional mercury lamps in productionQuantity only2025%The rest is visible light and heat, which wastes a lot of energy and releases ozone, making it unfriendly to the production environment of printing factories

2

The effective service life of UV mercury lamps is only 800-1000 hours. For printing factories that operate continuously, the lamp tube needs to be replaced once every month, and the long-term use cost is extremely high

3

Once the UV mercury lamp is used beyond its lifespan, its power will significantly decrease, resulting in inferior printed products and causing losses. However, the mercury lamp systems currently available on the market are often not intelligent enough to automatically monitor usage time

LED UV printing does not emit solvents into the environment

Can meet the strictest VOC emission regulations





During the printing process using UV ink, due toTransparency of ink of different colorsThere are significant differencesSo their absorption of ultraviolet rays varies, which will affect the overall drying speed.     



So, usually we followWhite, black, green, yellow, and magenta inkArrange the color sequence to allow ink with poor transparency to absorb as much UV light as possible, thereby achieving optimal printing speed and color


(There is severe ink pulling in the white ink after being irradiated with a regular LED UV light source)


White ink belongs to the total reflection spectrum, and due to the difficulty of UV light transmission, it is sometimes harder to cure than black ink

 

(Obvious graininess)


Many printing factories, especially those engaged inPackaging printingWhen it comes to white ink, it is difficult to cure well. In the application of LED UV, this is also a major challenge in the industry


But the printing speed determines the production efficiency of the printing factory. How toQuickly complete white ink curing, ensuring print quality while improving production efficiencyWhat about it






In response to the characteristics of white ink and the actual production scenarios of printing, Youweixing has specially developedThe white ink curing lamp has shown excellent performance in on-site experiments and subsequent use at the cooperative printing factory
