LED technology

As a specialist for radiation-curing printing ink systems of the highest quality, we also offer high-quality printing ink in the field of LED UV technology.

LED technology is particularly interesting for environmentally conscious companies that not only want to conserve resources but also protect the environment. LED technology offers an economic and ecological advantage.

LED technology has developed into a true alternative solution in the field of radiation curing! In principle, the polymerization process of an LED ink is identical to that of a UV system. The difference is that an LED system dries with a specific wavelength. The cross-linking reaction is therefore triggered by excitation in a very narrow wavelength range. Industrial LED systems can operate in a wavelength range from 365 nm to 405 nm. The most common systems are those that emit at 385 nm or 395 nm.

Mixing with Z-Base Colors

Based on years of positive experience with monopigmented color mixing systems, we offer a monopigmented color mixing system for all our color series.

We work with the same monopigmented color mixing systems in our production facilities. This ensures fast and effective color communication between the manufacturer and the print shop. Regardless of whether PANTONE® spot colors or other common mixing color systems need to be mixed, our highly pigmented color mixing systems always achieve the best possible result. Even fan-independent shades can be optimally adjusted.

Advantages

• PANTONE® tones can be blended better
• Color mixtures are more colorful and purer, as only the pigments actually required for a color mixture are used
• the higher color intensity enables printing with low layer thicknesses
• Reduced dot gain in halftone printing
• Greater flexibility when setting the color intensity of spot colors
• fewer color shifts when viewing the printed products under different light sources (metamerism)
• Color communication between the color manufacturer and the customer is simpler and therefore faster thanks to the use of monopigmented mixing systems
• Mixing recommendations are available for all PANTONE® shades
• Color formulation, mixing and dosing systems are available in various expansion stages
• Reduction of storage costs
• Lower disposal costs for leftover paint
