Inkjet Printing UV LED Curing Lamp

UVET UVSS-100B is a compact UV LED curing lamp designed for inkjet printing equipment. It delivers 365nm UV output at 8W/cm² across an 80×20mm irradiation area, providing concentrated energy for fast curing of compatible UV inks.

Its compact structure allows the lamp to be installed close to the printhead or printing path, making it suitable for systems where installation space is limited. Fan cooling helps control operating temperature and supports stable performance during continuous printing.

The same 80×20mm series is also available in 385nm, 395nm and 405nm wavelengths, with selected models offering UV intensity up to 12W/cm².

Key Features

• 365nm wavelength with 8W/cm² UV intensity
• Compact 80×20mm irradiation area
• Fast curing for compatible UV-curable inks
• Fan cooling for continuous operation
• Instant UV output without warm-up time
• Compact size for flexible equipment integration
• 385nm, 395nm and 405nm options available
• Up to 12W/cm² on selected models in the series

Designed for Inkjet Printing Systems

The UVSS-100B can be integrated directly into printing equipment, allowing UV curing to take place immediately after ink deposition.

Typical applications include:

• UV flatbed inkjet printers
• Digital inkjet printing systems
• Coding and marking equipment
• Industrial printing machines
• Customized automated printing lines
• OEM UV printing equipment

Its narrow irradiation area is particularly useful when the curing lamp needs to operate close to the printhead without taking up excessive machine space.

Multiple Wavelength Options

Different UV inks require different curing wavelengths. UVET offers several configurations within the same compact 80×20mm platform:

• 365nm: UVSS-100B, 8W/cm²
• 385nm: for compatible industrial UV inks
• 395nm: widely used in UV inkjet printing
• 405nm: suitable for compatible long-wavelength UV formulations

This allows the curing source to be selected according to the ink formulation, substrate and printing process rather than relying on a single fixed wavelength.

Built for Continuous Production

For printing lines that run for extended periods, stable thermal control is essential. The UVSS-100B uses fan cooling to help dissipate heat and maintain consistent operating conditions.

Combined with its compact footprint and concentrated UV output, it provides a practical curing solution for printer manufacturers and system integrators requiring:

• Fast UV ink curing
• Stable output during repeated production cycles
• Compact installation
• Flexible wavelength selection
• Easy integration into existing machine layouts

UVET can provide model and wavelength recommendations based on your UV ink, substrate, working distance and printing speed.
