AMS Showcases First-Ever LED UV Printing on Plastic 


“Like conventional UV inks, LED UV inks generate zero volatile emissions and promote better adhesion to plastics through instant photo-polymerization in contrast to conventional solvent-based inks,” added Ulland.

In addition to removing heat from the process, LED drying is emerging as an alternative to solvent-based print production for “clean-tech” output capable of enhancing print quality, enabling same-day job turnaround and eliminating problematic spray powder from pressrooms. The semiconductor-based AMS PEAK LED-UV system produces no ozone, contains no mercury lamps and consumes significantly less energy when compared to conventional UV sources.
