Why we settled on 80W/cm for our UV lamps

When we were designing our Standard mercury UV lamp modules, we landed on a power density of 80W/cm. It might look like just another number on a spec sheet, but in the real world of industrial printing, it’s the “sweet spot.” It’s enough punch to cure those thick, stubborn inks quickly, but not so much that you end up scorching your materials.

Getting the cure right

Here is the thing about mercury vapor lamps: they blast UVC and UVB radiation to get the job done. By hitting that 80W/cm mark, we’re making sure the energy actually digs deep into the ink. We’ve all seen “surface curing”—where the top looks dry, but the bottom is still a gooey mess. That’s a nightmare because the ink just peels right off. With this setup, the cure is consistent all the way through. No surprises.
