How the curing process works
Working with Panther UV-Inkjet digital presses, DuraCure operates in a combination of ways that support Xeikon’s Patent application—
- UV ‘pinning’ of white keeps ink from bleeding into CMYK inks, ensuring the quality of the CMYK image is kept at the highest level,
- UV ‘pinning’ after black—following CMYK transfer—means DuraCure ‘freezes’ all colors across the image, maintaining uniform color, brilliance and gloss,
- By combining LED & HG (Mercury) curing, less energy is used, providing a positive impact on curing lamp life.
