What is UV Curable Ink Technology?
UV-curable ink technology uses ultraviolet light to instantly cure ink on a substrate. Unlike solvent-based inks that dry through evaporation, UV inks undergo a photochemical reaction when exposed to UV light, triggering polymerization and forming a solid, durable layer.
- Instant drying
- Superior print quality
- Eco-friendly
How UV LED Curing Works
Modern UV curing systems use LED lamps emitting wavelengths between 365–405 nm to activate photoinitiators in the ink. This process converts liquid ink into a solid polymer film within milliseconds, ensuring durability and adhesion without heat—ideal for temperature-sensitive materials.
- Lower energy consumption (up to 70% savings)
- Longer lamp life and reduced maintenance
- No mercury or ozone emissions
