Two major factors that affect the lifetime of LEDs are temperature and current. As LEDs convert electricity into light, heat is created within the p-n junction, known as the junction temperature. For an LED diode to achieve maximum life expectancy, the junction temperature must remain in a safe operating zone.

Redfern Labels installed the new MPS EF 340 next-generation flexo press at its production facility in Johannesburg. Patrick Aengenvoort, of Rotocon and Marius van Lith of MPS sold the machines with the installation completed by service technicians.

As UV LED curing continues to grow at a rapid pace, leading ink manufacturers are putting significant R&D resources into UV LED inks to meet customer demand.

Phoseon recently visited a label converter in Europe with eight printing presses and learned that one third of the entire energy consumption of the factory is attributed to the mercury lamps on the presses.

The advantages of UV LED technology are quite significant compared to mercury UV and solve most of the issues that result from mercury lamp use. Typical energy savings exceed 50% for applications converted from mercury-based curing to LED.

Phoseon will showcase the latest UV LED curing solutions for flexographic printing at Labelexpo Mexico. Stop by the Phoseon booth (M10) to learn how a strategic partnership with Phoseon is crucial to choosing an LED curing system designed to meet your needs.

The compact UV LED curing light sources from Phoseon Technology offer advanced capability and increased production speeds for coding and marking applications.

Phoseon’s Director of Sales (Americas) Mike Higgins addresses the true key benefits of LED, and how upgrading can significantly improve production processes. Learn more about sustainability, with examples of production dark spots, and the questions manufacturers should be asking.

“Phoseon UV-LED ensures constant and efficient curing on all colors and at all speeds,’ commented Aron Huc, son of company founder Jacek Huc.

UV LED curing technology offers advanced capability and can be used for the UV 3D printing of jewelry, footwear, prototypes, automotive parts, and many other applications.

There are two key parameters of an LED lamp to understand for the purposes of optimizing cure and establishing a process window.

UV LED curing systems are ideal for the UV curing of inks in a variety of applications. UV LED technology offers increased productivity, operating economics, and sustainability for these applications.

As technology evolves, solutions improve and become more accessible across all markets. Mercury lamps have dominated the printing industry to a fault and are now being rapidly replaced by LED solutions.

UV LED curing technology is being adopted rapidly by converters and becoming the new standard for UV printing because the advantages are so significant compared to traditional mercury UV.

In honor of the company’s 20-year anniversary, Phoseon Technology tells the story of how the company started out and how it got to where it is today.

The printing of furniture edge bands with single-pass UV inkjet has been proven for many years, with Agfa’s Altamira Design PID inks meeting all needs. A variety of other decorative interior parts can greatly benefit from inkjet printing with the same Agfa ink set too.

In this episode, Frazer talks to Steve Lister, Sustainability Consultant for HH Global about his experiences in print, packaging and retail, where he believes sustainability is heading and the future of printing.

Phoseon Technology, the leader in UV LED curing solutions, announced an agreement with Vinsak Group to integrate Phoseon UV LED light sources into printing presses for the narrow web flexographic market.

In this podcast, Marcus Timson talks to Rob Karsten of Phoseon Technology about how printing technology is faring during these uncertain times.

UV LED offers significant advantages over traditional UV curing for direct printing applications, including smaller and lighter lamps, less maintenance and downtime.
