Hello , We are looking to going with UV ink what are the differences between HUV and LED-UV
don't know much about either

Thanks Glenn

Conventional UV;
High power consumption
High heat output
Wider range of UV light 200 - 400nm wavelength
High press speeds
Requires external cooling, air or water.
Lamp life about 1000 hours
Wide range of ink's, varnish's and coating's
Creates ozone
Hazardous light output, must be shielded
Must protect wiring, seals etc.

LED UV:
Less power consumption
Less heat output
Narrow wavelength 395 nm +/- 5%
Press speeds - unknown
No external cooling required
Lamp life 20000 -50000 hours
Limited ink's, varnish and coating's
No ozone
Less hazardous light output

Thank you for the info ,Is the cost of the two systems the same and what about the consumables

Thanks Glenn
