See how the Illumina LED Retrofit System increases production speeds and significantly reduces energy costs.

Illumina COLDCURE sets a new standard for flexo printing speed on standard paper and film stock – potentially doubling your print speed compared to traditional UV or waterbase flexo options. The Illumina retrofit technology takes full advantage of the high performance Fujifilm 300 Series inks.

 

The UV-LED COLDCURE is an instant on/off process, dramatically lowering the energy usage and stress on lamp bulbs experienced in conventional “always-on” UV mercury lamp curing. UV-LED also eliminates the costs generated by cooling air blowers, ozone extraction and heat makeup systems.

Illumina employs additional patented and patent-pending technology to achieve even greater savings, resulting in significant savings per retrofitted press per year.

 

UV-LED flexo printing uses light-emitting diodes to convert electrical current into light without producing equipment-damaging and potential health-compromizing ozone emissions. Gone are the noisy exhaust fans and oppressive heat exhibited by traditional UV flexo presses. In addition, no more UV ink odor or mercury bulb disposal worries.

An Illumina retrofit can be completed in half a day and be ready immediately for ink and substrate testing. By the second day, you’ll be in full UV-LED production mode. The compact design of the Illumina system easily fits on most any UV flexo press, at any width. Plus the design’s housing mounts directly on waterbase flexo presses without adding an extra drum as required by other LED retrofit systems.
