PRINTING AND CURING
|
The curing of inks and resins with narrow-banded
radiation excimer sources shows great promise--
especially when temperature-sensitive materials have
to be treated. Excimer VUV radiation can contribute
greatly by modifying the surface characteristics of
the material before the inks or resins are applied.
Narrow band UV facilitates targeted photochemistry
when used with appropriate photoinitiators.
In some cases, excimer VUV radiation can even lead
to polymerization without the use of any
photoinitiators. Electron Beam radiation can work in
a similar way to avoid the need for photoinitiators.
Electron Beam also offers significant curing
advantage when the curing system is opaque or
colored that prevents UV light penetration.
- Ink reception improvement on difficult
surfaces
- Crosslinking and matting
- Curing of Overcoats
