Flint Group launches Vantage LED for sheetfed

Flint Group has just launched a new UV LED lamp retrofit conversion solution for sheetfed printers called Vantage LED.

This will consist of a suite of products including pre-conversion consulting and training, dedicated LED inks and coatings, matching pressroom chemicals and blankets, plus customer support during and after conversion.

Flint Group says UV LED curing is ideal for sheetfed commercial printers looking to offer faster turnaround and expand the range of substrates they can print on.

Flint Group says there are also benefits for existing UV curing printers, including a reduction in energy consumption and the removal of heat and ozone from their process.

Other benefits described are the immediate drying of printed sheets, elimination of spray powder, and material and energy cost savings through no longer needing varnish or coating protection.

The company’s global UV business development director Jim Buchanan believes LED curing technology will transform sheetfed offset printing.

He says, “Vantage LED has been developed to ensure those wishing to convert to LED curing can do so with confidence in a very short space of time.  

“Our expert print technicians will audit an operation in the first instance and a full cost-benefit analysis will follow; a press can be converted in as little as one day.

“We have seen a staggering increase in factory-fitted LED presses, but the process of converting existing presses to LED, with retro-fitted lamp systems, allows printers a fast track to the benefits this technology brings.”
