UV Curable Screen Printing Inks

UV inks cure almost instantaneously — typically within fractions of a second to a few seconds — when exposed to the correct UV light intensity and wavelength. Fannon Products' UV LED Curing Systems deliver 16W/cm² power intensity, enabling faster line speeds while consuming less power compared to traditional UV curing lamp systems.

UV curable inks — including UV screen printing inks, UV inkjet inks, and UV coating formulations — cure when exposed to ultraviolet light. These inks contain photoinitiators that react to specific UV wavelengths, typically 365–405nm. Fannon Products' UV LED systems operate at 395–405nm, making them compatible with a wide range of UV curable ink chemistries.

UV LED curing systems offer significantly lower energy consumption, longer operational lifespan, no warm-up time, and more focused UV output. Fannon Products' air-cooled UV LED systems eliminate the need for complex cooling infrastructure, reduce heat exposure to substrates, and allow for faster line speeds, improving overall production efficiency.

Fannon Products offers UV LED Curing Systems in three module sizes: 3-inch (80x40mm emitting window), 6-inch (160x40mm), and 9-inch (240x40mm). All models deliver 16W/cm² power intensity at 395–405nm wavelengths, making them suitable for a range of screen printing press widths and configurations.

Yes, Fannon Products' UV LED Curing Systems are designed for standalone installation and can be integrated into new or existing screen printing setups. They feature 24 VDC or dry contact transport interlock compatibility and are available in 120V and 220–230V configurations to suit different press electrical requirements.

UV LED curing systems are widely used in commercial and industrial screen printing, automotive parts decoration, plastics printing, and inkjet printing operations. Fannon Products serves customers across automotive, printing, electronics, and textiles industries, supplying UV curing solutions to companies including Heidelberg, M&R, and HP.
