What Is UV LED Printing?

One process that utilizes UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is UV LED printing, in which UV-sensitive inks are instantaneously cured by Ultraviolet light (UV) as the printing process proceeds. This is an alternative to traditional thermal curing, as this technique involves focused UV light and not heat, and materials are, in fact, not damaged.

The major benefits of printing machines are:

• Direct curing without warming up.
• High-resolution printing
• Energy efficiency
• Minimal heat generation
• Long operational lifespan

UV LED inkjet printing and UV LED digital printing have enabled industries to use UV printing precision in many substrates, both flat and 3D. This design has made printing technology suitable for packaging, signage, electronics, textiles, promotional objects, and medical equipment.

 The Technology behind UV LED Printing

The main component in UV LED printing systems is the UV LED cure process, where a controlled wavelength is used to cure UV inks. The most popular UV LED wavelengths used in printing are:

365nm UV LED: Adhesive and fine details. Deep curing.

385nm UV LED: Coating, labeling, printing, and balancing curing.

395nm UV LED: It is the best choice when it comes to resin, 3D printing, and manufacturing in general.

405nm UV LED: Curing of temperature-sensitive materials.

UV LED print heads are made with high-performance to produce even light distribution, and UV LED optical design, UV LED thermal management, and UV LED driver circuitry are designed to ensure stable and efficient operation. The product is high-resolution printing, accurate UV printing, and proper curing on all materials.
