Offset UV LED System

A retrofit UV LED curing system for sheetfed offset presses—delivering consistent, instant curing with up to 60% lower power consumption than conventional mercury lamps.

Retrofit Your Offset Press for Lower Running Costs and Faster Turnaround

Our UV LED Curing System is designed to retrofit onto existing sheetfed offset presses, with customisable lamp cassettes and mounting brackets built for your specific machine. With a curing area that's fully customisable and an optical intensity of 20W/cm² at 385nm/395nm, it delivers complete, consistent curing without the running costs of mercury lamps.

Unlike mercury lamps, which degrade in output over time, our UV LED system maintains steady performance throughout its working life—with no warm-up or cool-down delay, instant on/off control, and an average lifecycle of over 30,000 hours.

Offset UV LED System Frequently Asked Questions

 

Will a UV LED retrofit fit my existing offset press?

In most cases, yes. Our systems are built with customisable lamp cassettes and mounting brackets to fit specific press models, including Heidelberg, Komori, Mitsubishi and Man Roland lines. Send us your press make and model and we'll confirm compatibility.

How much can I save switching to UV LED on my offset press?

Typical power savings are up to 60% versus conventional mercury UV curing, on top of savings from eliminating warm-up/cool-down downtime and reducing lamp replacement frequency.

Does UV LED curing work with my existing UV inks and coatings?

Most UV inks and coatings formulated for mercury curing can be adapted for LED, but ink chemistry needs to be matched to the LED wavelength (385nm/395nm here) for a reliable cure. Our team can advise on compatibility as part of your enquiry.

Is UV LED curing suitable for heat-sensitive substrates on an offset press?

Yes, because UV LED generates significantly less heat than mercury lamps, it's well suited to foils, synthetics and other substrates that can distort or discolour under conventional UV.
