When it comes to UV Nail Dryers, there seem to be many varieties available – different sizes, different UV wattages, single hand, double hand, with and without fans, etc. Whether your are purchasing for a professional Nail Salon or buying one for home use, the result you are trying to acheive is the same: curing UV Gel in a matter of seconds and enjoying the lasting effects for a few weeks.  The 9 watt and 20 watt Nail Gel Dryers are good for home use, however you will see better more efficient results from a 36 or 54 watt dryer used in most professional Nail Salons.  They do use a few more Curing Lamps, but they are inexpensive and easy to replace.  Better yet the higher wattage models have timers built in for up to 4 minutes, so no more turning the Dryer on and off during the manicure. Remember that the Nail Dryers must be used with a UV topcoat, they will not cure regular polish.

Whether you have acrylic nails or just want your natural nails to be stronger and last longer, it is a great idea to use a UV light for curing the topcoat. With acrylic nails, the UV Gel topcoat acts as the final seal to a full set; on natural nails it simply adds a superior shine and finish.  Ultraviolet technology is an inexpensive and proven way to complete the perfect manicure.

UV Nail Gel Dryers for Home or Professional Use

It is safe for the environment and you can own your UV Curing Dryer for home or professional use.  Most UV dryers use 9 watt Curing lamps (between 4 and 6 lamps depending on the wattage) and are easily replaced at a very reasonable cost.  Combine that with professional UV Gel Nail Products and you have created beautiful, long-lasting care free nails!

Ultra-violet (UV) light is great for many things, but probably the most important application is killing germs, mold, viruses and bacteria.  Now UV technology is available in smaller, more portable sizes, such as the Nano UV Handheld Disinfection Scanner as well as toothbrush sterilizers (at home or away).  This is the easiest and most economical way to protect your family while taking advantage of this technology in its most essential form.  While mold and bacteria may not be visible to the naked eye, they are the major culprits of the spread of disease and viruses, so a UV light is the most intelligent and fail-safe way to keep yourselves healthy and happy.

Why print with UV for Flatbed, Wide Format and Digital Printing? Two reasons to cure your product: The most important is that UV inks dry extremely fast (seconds, compared to minutes with conventional drying methods).

Also UV inks are friendly to the environment because they produce almost no emissions. They contain no solvents, unlike conventional inks.

When the inks dry, the solvents evaporate and release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. VOC’s have always been a target in the fight against air pollution because they make a key contribution to harmful pollutants like ground-level ozone.

In addition to the environmental reasons, curing with ultraviolet lamps is economically-friendly. The UV Lamp and Reflector replacements enable Printers worldwide to make converting to Ultra-Violet an intelligent decision.
