Working together with various OEMs and lamp manufacturers, Flint Group has developed a full range of low energy UV curing highly reactive inks and coatings.
A key feature of Xcura is that one product will print on certain non porous, as well as standard coated and uncoated substrates.
Flint Group says these products have a high colour strength, display good ink/water stability and require lower levels of energy to operate.
Rod Balmer, director of global research and product development, Flint Group, said the inks are formulated using a selection of photoinitiators which absorb at the higher end of the spectrum and are optimised for high speed curing.
“These inks are highly reactive, the need for multiple UV lamps is not necessary, thus reducing operating costs for the printer,” he said.
