Will Deco-Chem’s UV inks cure without a special “industrial” UV curing unit?

No. The UV inks might “dry to the touch” with prolonged sunlight or regular UV bulbs. However in order to get full adhesion to the substrate, the UV curing unit you are using must produce the necessary amount of energy. For processing speeds, required energy output and milijoules readings, please email info@decochem.com
