UV/EB Inks - Take a Sigh of Relief

Duncan sees the next "hottest" thing in energy-curable inks is within the UV inkjet. "These products are in a very fast-growth mode with over 500 installed printers worldwide. UV hybrid inks have been around for a few years, but they are also still growing," he said. He also mentioned that "cooler running UV bulbs, lower cost EB units, raw materials with less skin irritation, and lower cost photoinitiators," are all future trends that will surface in the UV/EB ink world.
