UV LED Inks: The Future of Narrow-web Printing?

UV LED is an abbreviation for UltraViolet Light Emitting Diode. UV curing with an LED lamp occurs exactly the same way as a standard mercury lamp. The ink, coating, or adhesive, when exposed to the UV lamp, causes a polymerization reaction to occur. The differences? This curing method offers significant advantages over mercury curing (as we'll discuss later).
