Phoseon UV LED Curing for Thermal Inkjet

Discover LED Light Sources for Coding and Marking Applications

The compact UV LED curing light sources from Phoseon Technology offer advanced capability and increased production speeds for coding and marking applications. The LEDs are instant on/off, so the UV is only on when ink curing must occur. This saves energy and increases the life of the unit even further.

With virtually no maintenance, low operating cost, and faster throughput, UV LED curing is the ideal choice for high-resolution thermal inkjet printing.

Thermal Inkjet Cartridges (TIJ) are now available in UV LED curable form for marking and coding applications. They are designed to print well on difficult and low-porous surfaces.

Advantages Over Solvent-Based Thermal Inkjet Include:

  • Cost-effective disposable cartridges.

  • Low maintenance – with nozzles that do not clog up.

  • Alcohol-resistance.

  • Instant cure for higher throughput.

  • Better adhesion for a wider portfolio of surfaces.

  • High print contrast.

  • Available in black or white ink.

UV LED Curing Applications Include:

  • Glossy surfaces.

  • Polyurethane (pharmaceutical tubes).

  • Plastics (bottle caps, grocery bags, cartridge packaging, gift cards, containers).

  • Medical instruments that require high alcohol resistance during disinfection.

  • Film (flexible food packaging, candy wrappers).

  • Glass (vape tubes).

  • Coaxial cables.

  • Optics.

  • Metals.
