Colorific Solutions Ltd launched its Lightbar UV print conversion solution during the FESPA 2013. This new print conversion solution enables wide format printer owners to convert existing solvent printers to a greener and more economical UV solution. Currently compatible with any wide-format solvent machine that uses Epson Piezo DX4 and DX5 printhead technologies, Colorific Lightbar UV print conversion solution is a hybrid system which combines the reliability of an eco solvent ink with the print performance of a UV ink.
Lightbar UV print conversion solution comprises an external, stand-alone lamp kit which fixes to the front of any compatible wide-format printer. During the printing process, the pigment is fixed to the ink-receiving layer on the media and then a secondary cure – using the new system – fixes the droplet and provides an immediate cure and cross link on the media.
