PRINT 13 SHOWSTOPPERS
the following technical ranges for the commerical and packaging industry. Run/
Application: On sheetfed presses, run speeds of 8,000 to 10,000 IPH are recommended, applying the coating with a 10-14 bcm anilox. (Higher volume aniloxes
can be used, but the cure speed will be slower).
Screen printing the UV-8820ST is possible, if extra precautionary steps are
taken. Some steps include using a water resistant "knock- out" emulsion on the
screen, not letting the coating sit idle for any length of time, and not applying the
coating thicker than with a 305 mesh. The coating will come out soft, but will "postcure" quickly. Cure Testing: A cured film of UV-8820ST will typically yield 10 to 20
MEK double rubs, have a gloss level <10, and have no marker pen reticulation.

Air Motion Systems | AMS UV,
Booth 563
Air Motion Systems | AMS UV will introduce its award-winning XP5 Series LED
UV Curing System to the North American market at PRINT 13. The XP5 Series LED
UV system delivers up to six times the curing intensity of mercury-based lamps
for higher speeds and more thorough and predictable curing at just 50 percent
of the power consumed, while eliminating the heat, ozone, mechanical shutters,
warm-up time, bulb replacements, and safety hazards of conventional UV and High
Wavelength "H-type" UV curing systems. And owing to its small profile and no need
for air exhaust runs or lengthy UV press preparation, the XP5 can be integrated
quickly into multiple types of machines.
