When the press is running 300 meters per minute, the ink has to go from wet to fully cured before it even reaches the folding unit. If the lamp can’t keep up, the job stops. Either the ink stays tacky and marks, or the cure lags and the substrate starts to warp. In industrial UV drying, you don’t chase the cure. The cure has to keep pace with the machine. That’s why mercury vapor lamps are still the workhorse. They deliver high-intensity output at wavelengths that line up with the absorption profile of common photoinitiators, so cross-linking happens fast—no waiting around for solvents to evaporate.</p>
