UV Print /Cure System

Features

• M&R’s most
aggressively priced
multi-color UV
print /cure system

• Prints and cures up to
six colors simultaneously

• Three UV cure systems to choose from

M&R’s most aggressively priced multi-color UV system prints and cures
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 Insignia delivers
finished prints in one revolution, it’s possible to do color and registration
adjustments for customer approval prior to the production run.
Servo drive with adjustable index speed is standard. Insignia can index
in either direction, and features automatically synchronized gear-driven
screen peel and M&R’s patented ink retrieval system. Insignias are
available with maximum image areas of 63 x 96 cm (25" x 38"),
76 x 102 cm (30" x 40") and 102 x 155 cm (40" x 61"). Insignia B-Zero
is sized to the ISO B0 standard of 100 x 141.4 cm (40" x 56"). Stationary
lamps mounted between printheads provide exceptional curing.
Each cure station features single-point focus adjustment so lamps

can be optimized for materials of different thickness. Each lamp has
independent wattage settings managed from the main control panel
and is capable of fully independent operation.
Insignia’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). Insignia
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™ UV cure system is infinitely adjustable 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. Most models
offer optional double lamps at each station to provide additional curing
(Models 4056 & 4061 offer double lamps only at the last station).
