AMS Showcases First-Ever LED UV Printing on Plastic 


Along with partner, MAG-D-PRINT (MDP) in Barcelona, AMS demonstrated a sheetfed offset lithography printing system powered by a single high-intensity AMS Peak LED-UV lamp and capable of drying ink at top production speeds on paper, foil and plastic stocks on a Sakurai 475SDw 30˝ offset press.

“The results of this system were beyond our expectations. We’re truly excited about the broader implications of the LED printing process on plastic materials” remarked Steve Metcalf, president and CEO of Air Motion Systems. “One of the clear advantages of LED-based UV curing is the zero emission of infra-red heat to the substrate media.”
