UV and IR technologies for drying and curing printing inks and coatings. Printing press manufacturers integrate UV curing and IR drying to meet their customers' production needs. Printing processes are among the earliest to use UV and IR systems due to the significant benefits such as increased print quality and production speeds while reducing VOCs and operating costs. Depending on the specific print process and type of ink or overprint varnish (OPV), UV lamps, IR emitters, or even a combination of both, provide an efficient and reliable solution for curing and drying on corrugated, folding carton, flexible packaging, and labels.
