What is UV LED Print Technology? A system allowing the DIRECT digital prints onto all materials with instant drying speed, 3D embossed / textured printing results, sharp color performances, strong color durability and eco-friendly features.

How it works? UV stands for ultraviolet, while LED is the shortcut of Light Emitting Diode; the UV wavelength is from 1 to 400 nm, where the UV LED printing systems are using 365 – 395 nm. The name of the UV LED printer is given by the ink type, the DTS3 and DTSAT3 LED UV inks that artisJet systems are printing with. The UV LED lamps cure the digital pictures, letters, numbers printed from the printer hardware immediately during the print and change the liquid into solid substrates.

What are the main features of UV LED print? With its unique drying method from the UV LED lighting, the UV LED printing technology offers an instant dry during the digital print process. Due to its strong compatibility to wide range of materials, the UV LED print technology enables the direct print onto all type of products. Another characteristic of this technology is the stability on the white inks, which allows the direct print on dark and light materials. The instant drying feature allows a layered, textured and 3D embossed printing result. Without the VOC inside of the inks, the UV LED print technology is eco-friendly.

What are the advantages of artisJet’s UV LED print technology? Long life of UV LED lamps with wave length of 365 and 395 nm and 12,000 working hours is one of the main advantages. The flexible UV LED power adjustment for different materials printing on demand, the built-in liquid cooling system for safe and continuous printing production, as well as the piezo equipped with anti-static print system for high resolution digital direct printing makes the UV LED technology stand out. Another advantages of printing with LED UV technology is the wide range of products with different printing sizes and speed for all business levels and the low cost maintenance yet with high ROI (return on investment) on artisJet CISS system.
