Characteristics of UV printing technology

UV printing ink consumption and the traditional four-color process printing is the same: UV printing ink waste less.

Extensive European experience has shown that average production output should be similar to traditional methods with best practices (UV fixture configuration, ink and varnish chemistry and proper operating techniques). The overall energy cost of Shanghai UV production is similar to that of the same press equipped with infrared and hot air drying devices. The test results show that the power consumption of UV lamp is 30% lower than that of infrared / hot air drying (calculated by German energy price). The energy required to start the UV lamp is higher than that of the IR transmitter without triggering the start, and the kW rate of the UV lamp is generally higher than that of the infrared transmitter.
