- Instant Cure
- Unlike solvent and aqueous materials, UV inks and coatings cure instantly.
This allows in-line processing and immediate work-and-turn for printing processes,
and less work-in-progress in coating applications. The more powerful, more
flexible lamps in EYE-UV™ systems cure even faster, and often require
shorter line lengths and cost less to operate. In optical fiber processes,
the incremental speed and production length advantages can dramatically increase
throughput.

- Faster Production Speeds
- UV materials cure instantly, so there is no lost time waiting for drying,
and production lines can run at higher speeds than those employing thermal
systems. Production lines employing EYE-UV™ systems run even faster,
due to the delivery of more curing power in shorter line lengths; and the
proprietary Cold Mirror™ components in EYE-UV™ systems, which reduce
delays for take-up of finished product by virtually eliminating the need
for extra cooling.

- Heat Sensitivity
- Thermal systems are often inappropriate for use with heat-sensitive substrates,
exposing materials to elevated heat levels for too long, or requiring extended
curing times. These problems are substantially reduced by employing UV's
instant cure. They are reduced even further by employing the proprietary
cool UV technology that comes only from EYE-UV™. This includes
heat-neutral Cold Mirror™ reflectors and IR cut filters which
minimize thermal expansion and eliminate mis-registration, deformation and
shrinkage.

- No Width Limitations
- Other UV suppliers may say they have no cure width limitations, but only
EYE-UV™ systems employ lamp lengths from as small as 2 inches
up to an amazing 70 inches.

- No VOCs
- UV inks and coatings are 100% solids, eliminating the VOCs inherent with
solvent and water-based chemicals. As with all UV curing, EYE-UV™
systems help you minimize clean-up and pollution control by using solid chemistry.

- Reduced Floor Space
- UV systems take up as little as 10 percent of the space that thermal systems
do. And EYE-UV™ systems shrink that footprint even further,
by delivering more power with less equipment, and requiring less cooling
space than UV systems that don't have the proprietary Cold Mirror™
components you get from EYE-UV™.

- Lower Energy Consumption
- Thermal versus UV? No contest, unless you're air drying. Regular UV versus EYE-UV™? What would you expect when you get more curing power out of less equipment - equipment that draws energy… EYE-UV™ wins again!
