AMS Announces First-Ever LED-Based UV System for Offset Presses

The AMS XP3 LED-UV system operates at as little as 20 percent of the electrical energy required of conventional UV systems, and without the heat, ozone ducting, human safety or lamp replacement and disposal concerns of conventional mercury lamps.

According to AMS President Steve Metcalf, “The XP3 LED-UV printing system represents breakthrough technology for printers looking to tap into the benefits of UV printing without the issues commonly associated with conventional lamp technology. For the first time, high-powered UV curing at real working distances is available from a 100 percent solid-state, semiconductor-based light source and is easily adaptable to a wide variety of new and existing machines on the market.”
