LED technology-a new realm of wide-format inkjet printing

When it comes to LED, everyone will be familiar with it. LED (Light-Emitting Diode) is the abbreviation of Light Emitting Diode, which is a semiconductor solid light emitting device. The earliest LED light source using this principle of light emission came out in the 1960s. Now, LEDs are everywhere in our lives, such as traffic lights, highway lights, car lights, architectural landscape lighting, LED displays, LED TVs and so on. It is precisely because LED has the advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency, long life, small size, good stability, no harmful metal mercury and so on, it is more and more popular, and the application field is also more and more extensive.

The benefits of LED technology to UV inkjet printers

Now, LED technology has been applied to UV industrial inkjet printers, like Agfa's Epona: Anapurna 2500 LED UV inkjet printer, is the world's first industrial inkjet printer using LED technology. Compared with general inkjet printers, the advantages of inkjet printers using LED lights are:

• Energy-saving and energy-saving LEDs consume only about 15W of energy when they reach a certain brightness, while traditional lamps consume 1500W of energy to achieve the same brightness. Even compared with UV halogen lamps, they can save 80% of energy, so LEDs The lamp is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

• Long service life LED lamp life exceeds 20,000 hours.

• High stability The printing quality of the UV inkjet printer has a great relationship with the UV drying and curing process. The stability of the LED lamp makes the output energy predictable and stable, so the printing effect is also predictable and stable. , To avoid the problems caused by the instability of traditional halogen lamps.

• Wide range of applications LED lights are not heated by infrared light, and the heat released is low, so it will not affect the transmission of media that are easily deformed by heat (such as foam plastic boards, foil films, PVC, etc.) during the printing process. In this way, the application range of the media is more extensive.

• Fast response (switching) time LED lights do not need to be preheated, and can be printed immediately after booting. The productivity of the printing system can be improved, even if there is a sudden emergency, it can cope with it smoothly.

• High safety LED lights have no UVC rays, no ozone emission, and are not easily destroyed.

LEDs allow the ink to cure deeply


Abona: The wavelength of light emitted by the LED lamp of Anapurna 2500 LED is 395nm. This wavelength allows the ink to be deeply cured, so there is no situation where the surface of the printed product is dry but the bottom of the layer is not dry. The special spectral irradiation of the LED lamp makes it printed on various media with very good adhesion and strong scratch resistance.

Ai Bona: Anapurna 2500 LED printing has a wide color gamut and full color, reaching ISO 12647 and Fogra standards, which is very suitable for various outdoor prints. According to different printing precision output modes, the inkjet ink droplet size varies from 8 picoliters to 24 picoliters. The change in color density is determined by the optimized calculation of the ink droplet size, and its ink consumption is low, which reduces the cost of use.

UPH inkjet head is the guarantee of high quality printing

Abona: The heart of the Anapurna 2500 LED is Agfa Universal Print Head, which is unique to Agfa. UPH is a piezoelectric inkjet head that can print resolutions from 360 to 1440 dpi. Each ink head has 764 nozzles, ensuring high-quality output while taking into account the production efficiency. In addition, the machine is equipped with an ink head positioning device, which can make the nozzles of all ink heads dry the printing medium even if it is 100% parallel, so that the ink jetting point is very accurate, ensuring a perfect and stable printing effect.

Automatic cleaning and maintenance system in Abona: In the Anapurrna 2500 LED automatic cleaning and maintenance system, the cleaning liquid is pumped to the nozzle head at high speed, forming a powerful cleaning cyclone, and the dust and ink residue on the surface and inside of the nozzle will be effectively removed. Thereby ensuring smooth printing.

Fully automatic media scanning device and media delivery system Abona: Anapurna 2500 LED has an automatic media scanning device that can scan the width and thickness of the media before printing, and then automatically position the inkjet head in the correct position, and then To start printing, the transfer system of the printing press is based on the interaction of 1 static and 2 dynamic vacuum surfaces. The media will not be stretched in a continuous process. In addition, the special fixing system of the printing press can prevent rigidity or roll. The sliding or displacement of the ring makes the transmission of the medium very precise.

Agfa's unique UV ink Aibona: The Agfa UV ink (CMYK) used by Anapurna 2500 LED, each color has an independent 5 liter ink cartridge, and the system has an advanced ink recognition device, when the system detects a certain The ink of one color is placed in the correct slot to pierce the seal, which ensures that the ink will not be misplaced. The characteristics of Agfa UV ink are: stable, quick-drying, easy to handle, long shelf life (18 months), colorful and vivid on various media, inkjet effect is similar to the quality of the photo, can meet indoor and outdoor All kinds of media are colorful, vivid and dazzling, and the inkjet effect is similar to the quality of the photo, which can meet the needs of various resolutions indoors and outdoors. Uninterrupted monitoring of ink temperature and air bubble removal can ensure that the ink is always in the best state, so that the printing can achieve the best results.

In addition, Agfa UV inks are free of VOC (volatile organic compound) pollution, irritating substances, safe and reliable. Now more and more users begin to pay attention to environmental protection, and are very concerned about the VOC content of the production workshop. Agfa UV ink has outstanding advantages in this regard. Agfa uses the top pigments to make UV inks to ensure that the images last forever.

Present high-quality printed products for indoor and outdoor applications. Abona: Anapurna 2500 LED has three printing modes with different resolutions. It can print on a variety of uncoated rigid media and various package media, with a maximum printing speed of 60m2 / h. It is designed for indoor and outdoor high-quality wide-format printing, and has a wide range of applications: such as posters, car stickers, point-of-sale display advertising, exhibition boards, interior decoration, handicraft copying, stage backgrounds, building outdoor big-name advertising And personalized items. The width of rigid media can be up to 2.5m wide and the thickness can be up to 46mm. Both smooth and uneven surfaces can be printed. It can also realize borderless printing and double printing, and the weight of roll media can reach 125kg.

The advent of the era of digital printing has opened up a wider channel of profit for printing. With high-performance LED lights, Agfa's patented nozzle technology and professional UV inks, Ai Bona: Anapurna 2500LED brings your wide-format printing business to a whole new level.
