UV Print /Cure System

Features

• Prints and cures
up to six colors
simultaneously

• UV cure stations operate
independently

• Maximum image areas from
64 x 97 cm to 97 x 127 cm (25" x 38" to 38" x 50")

Conquest is M&R’s versatile multi-color UV carousel printing
system. Its unique design reduces labor costs by printing and curing
up to six colors simultaneously. Since substrates don’t need to be
dried and stacked between colors, they don’t have to be handled
repeatedly. This prevents dimensional changes to substrates, and is
especially beneficial for fragile substrates like glass. Since Conquest
delivers finished prints in one revolution, it’s possible to do color
and registration adjustments for customer approval prior to the
production run.
Conquest can index in either direction, and features automatically
synchronized gear-driven screen peel and M&R’s patented ink
retrieval system. UV cure stations operate independently and ensure
uniform coverage by traversing the substrate during the print cycle.
Traverse speed is independently controlled at each station. Wattage
settings for each station are independent, and are controlled at
the main panel. Each lamp has independent wattage settings and
is capable of fully independent operation. Conquest’s standard

118 watts/cm (300 watts/in) cure system can be set at 49, 79, 98,
or 118 watts/cm (125, 200, 250, or 300 watts/in). Conquest also
offers a 400-watt UV curing system and the M&R Switchback™ UV
curing system. The optional 157 watts/cm (400 watts/in) system
can be set at 63, 79, 118, and 157 watts/cm (160, 200, 300, and 400
watts/in). The optional Switchback system is infinitely variable
from 63 to 157 watts/cm (160 to 400 watts/in), and accepts three
types of UV lamps—Ferric/Iron Oxide, Gallium, and Mercury Vapor
(standard)—allowing operators to select the optimal curing source
and intensity for even the most difficult ink/substrate combinations.
Conquest’s optional above-table double-sided sheet locator allows
operators to load from any corner for double-sided work. Porter,™
M&R’s fully adjustable suction-style takeoff, adapts to virtually
any substrate. All this adds up to print quality and UV curing
performance simply unobtainable with other manufacturers’
carousel print/cure systems. The product image includes the
optional Porter Automatic Takeoff System.
