What is the future of UV LED printing?

Just because a UV LED printer dries out ink instantly doesn't mean it affects the quality of the job. In fact, it only enhances it further. Although the technology incorporates instant drying, it ensures that the ink does not sink into the material. In turn, colors are sharper, brighter and more vivid. Sharper colors make the image stand out and grab the reader's attention. For example, if you are a watchmaking company, sharper and more vivid colors will highlight the most subtle aspects of the various products offered and resonate visually, regardless of the material on which it is printed.

A common and sometimes unavoidable problem in older printing techniques is ink shedding. This is when unwanted ink is transferred from one sheet of print to another. However, in UV LED printing, the ink sticking is eliminated because it is an instant drying process, which means there is no need for an anti-adhesive powder spray and the finished product will not have any unwanted marks.

 

UV LED printing is versatile

UV LED inks can be printed on metal, glass, ceramics, leather, wood, flooring, acrylic, wallpaper, PC, PVC, ABS and other planar or micro-curvature materials. Some materials need to be coated for better performance.

 

Environmentally friendly

While it may not seem like printers are environmentally friendly, UV LED printers are actually environmentally friendly due to the sheer size of some of these printers. UV LED printing uses less power than traditional print-drying technologies, and the instant on/off function feature reduces standby consumption between jobs and reduces overall CO2 emissions.

While being environmentally friendly won't have any impact on the quality of the work you print, it could be a huge advantage to your business if potential customers find out that you are making a difference to the environment, which is becoming increasingly important to more and more people today. Therefore, demonstrating that your high-end business is environmentally conscious can be a great way to build rapport with your customers.

 

Other advantages of UV LED

▷ No IR radiation, less heat

▷ Does not contain heavy metals (mercury)

▷ Longer life, + 20,000 hrs as compared to 1,500 hrs on a standard UV mercury lamp

▷ Easier to convert materials that are heat sensitive

▷ LEDs are more efficient than mercury bulbs

 

What is the future of UV LED printing?

For high-end businesses that want to fully showcase their materials and products, creating items such as brochures through UV LED printers will help make everything look better. This is crucial in this digital age, as high-quality materials are the best way to attract attention. Choosing the perfect stock and using UV LED printing technology will ensure that all products produced not only look quality, but feel that way in the hands of the reader. UV LED printing is more than just a buzzword, it is making the future of printing better.
