Why print with UV for Flatbed, UV Wide Format and Digital Printing? Two reasons to UV 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. UV inks contain no solvents unlike conventional inks.
When the inks dry the solvents evaporate and they release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. VOCs 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 UV is economically friendly as well. The UV lamps and UVReflector replacements enable UV Printers worldwide to make converting to UV an intelligent decision.
