Mercury vs. LED Curing Technology Comparison for Flexographic Printing

Flexographic printing has evolved dramatically over the past two decades, and few technologies have influenced that evolution more than UV curing. What began with traditional mercury (Hg) arc lamps is now rapidly shifting toward UV LED curing, especially in narrow‑web label and flexible packaging applications. LED adoption continues to accelerate, however, mercury UV has not Mercury vs. LED Curing Technology Comparison for Flexographic Printing
