LED UV exposure units save energy and
eliminate the need for less environmentally friendly
metal-halide and other types of bulbs, according to
Lightspeed Equipment. The company stocks units in
three sizes and will custom make any size needed.
high-volume CTS systems. For a couple of
thousand dollars, you can even buy a kit
to retrofit your fluorescent exposure unit
with LEDs if it's in good condition and
you're on a limited budget.
The next time I have to replace bulbs,
I will choose this option. I already have a
CTS system that images about 25 screens
an hour, but I am very interested in no longer having to annually replace $400 bulbs.
Although high-volume shops with CTS
systems will be among those really reaping
the benefits of LED, any shop doing more
than 30-40 screens a day should consider
this technology.
If you are just getting into the business,
I recommend that you consider purchasing an LED exposure system. It would be
the wisest equipment investment from
which you will get the greatest return.
Do your homework, get and check referrals, track industry forums for comments,
and look for YouTube videos to help you
gather the information you need to make
the best decision.
