Primarc Shows Latest UV Lamps at Drupa 2004
UV curing lamp manufacturer Primarc UV Technology will be showing its recently expanded series of spectrally enhanced metal halide UV lamps at Drupa 2004.
Dave Douglas, vice president of business development at PRI, said: "We wanted to build a system that any print shop could realistically consider." Rather than placing long UV bulbs across the entire width of the press, the system utilises several short bulbs placed diagonally in the direction of the run of the press.
That allows each bulb to be individually controlled creating differing areas of coverage and intensity.
Zone is also said to eliminate the expensive chilled-water cooling found on conventional systems by incorporating highly efficient forced air cooling chambers and extraction.
Very little heat actually dissipates into nearby press areas.
The entire system is managed by a touch-screen control panel allowing the user control over all aspects of its operation.
"With the economies provided by this system, both in terms of investment and use, there's no reason a print shop can't be offering UV and hybrid resources to its clients," Douglas said.
