The entire spectrum for curing at drupa

Print Solutions

The newly formed Business Unit Curing of Dr Hönle AG, consisting of printing specialists Hönle, Eltosch Grafix, PrintConcept, and Gepa Coating Solutions, offers highly efficient customised curing and drying solutions in printing applications. The group’s extensive product portfolio includes not only LED-UV but also conventional UV, inertUV, and IR systems. This selection, combined with decades of experience, enables individual, tailor made solutions for every printing application, ensuring process security and first class product quality for printers.

In the UK, these solutions can be sourced through CyanX.

At drupa, the company highlighted its options for digital, sheetfed, and web printing applications, which not only provide the typical advantages of UV-LED such as higher throughput speeds and reliable printing results but also contribute clearly to sustainability.

New in the portfolio is the LED Powerline LC HV for fast and energy efficient curing of printing inks and varnishes. The water cooled and variable LED-UV curing device can be used for pinning and final curing in almost any printing application: whether paper or film, whether web shaped or 3D. The modular design of the LED Powerline LC HV allows for ideal length adjustment to the application and enables variable format shutdown, resulting in significant energy savings.

The LED Powerline Focus is optimised for greater distances to the substrate: special focusing optics ensure excellent curing results even at high printing speeds. The modular construction of the LED Powerline allows for format shutdown and thus efficient curing on substrates of different sizes.

With the new hybrid device Uvaprint varyCure, the printer can always choose the right curing technology for the upcoming printing job. Thanks to the user friendly and easy to handle cassette technology, only the insert needs to be exchanged, which is equipped with a UV discharge lamp in one case and LEDs in the other.
