Sun Chemical Breakthrough at Drupa with Increased Line Speeds for Led Curing Chemistry

As lamp technology has advanced and higher power lamps have been demonstrated, SunJet has managed to produce graphics inks which fully cure with LED UV exposure. What is announced at drupa is a further step change in performance and in application.

In the last two months, SunJet has produced a set of inks designed for use in single pass applications which raise the achievable line speed by more than three times. In addition to this improvement SunJet has discovered a route in formulation which allows the increased response to LED UV output to be applied to a full range of SunJet ink families. This means that popular ink sets such as SunJet’s flexible inks can be used with the new LED lamp technology if correctly integrated.
