Case Studies

Label Source Reduces Energy Cost by $60,000+ Annually with 7 Screen Press Retrofit to SST LED

The COO/CFO shares the operational and financial benefits including 380,000 kWh and $60,000 + annual reduction in energy. Significant reduction in HVAC load with replacing very hot UV systems with SST LED and receiving a 31% rebate on the investment from their power supplier.

Muir Omni Graphics Reduces Screen Printing Energy Use by 92%

See how the 92% reduction in energy related to 3 UV screen presses resulted in a 52% reduction in energy to the 8,352 sq ft print facility. Actual monthly kWh trends before & after retrofit are provided and the many benefits of removing heat from the printing process.

Retrofitting of 2 Flexo Presses at Cambridge Label

Watch our follow-up interview with the President and Plant Manager of Cambridge Label two months after retrofitting 2 large flexo presses. They discuss the decision process for choosing SST LED and the many project benefits.

The Most Sustainable Ink Curing Technology

As LED is becoming more accepted for flexo, screen, and offset printing it is important to understand that not all LED are equal from a sustainability standpoint. The unique SST LED technology requires much less energy than conventional LED systems.

Web-Fed Offset Retrofit from UV to SST LED

As LED is quickly becoming the new norm for offset, flexo and screen printing, SST LED is proving to be the best option. This video details the retrofitting of a 6 station 20 inch wide Didde UV Web offset press from traditional UV arc curing to SST LED.

Printing Press Disruptive Curing Technology

SST LED is disrupting the flexo, screen and offset printing industry with a unique patented technology that delivers many benefits not possible before with any print technology. The benefits, and how they are achieved were presented in a FLEXO Trade associations June 2023 TECH Talk.

Retrofit of 2 Flexo Presses to SST LED

Watch a customer interview with GPG Genflex in Atlanta GA regarding the SST LED curing system retrofit onto 2 flexo presses. The systems replaced both water-based drying and UV arc curing stations.

Impacts of Rising Electricity Costs on Print Curing

Recent significant increases in electricity costs are accelerating the transition to LED from UV and Water-based printing. We look into the financial impacts of the historically high cost of electricity for printers and how the CAPEX payback period for retrofitting presses to LED has become even more attractive.
