The replacement lamps work to dry coatings and inks in signs and graphics. The curing lamp consists of quartz glass plate that protects lamps from debris and works as a filler between the curing system and lamp. The plate prevents grit, dirt and contaminants from building up.
The UV curing bulb is used extensively in the printing industry, mainly for curing coatings and inks. UV curing lamps are necessary for the drying system and are a better option to infra red drying as it resists smudges. UV Curing also enables environmentally friendly elements of UV printing and reduces the use of energy.
