IST UV innovation: MBS-5 Inkjet
The MBS®-5 Inkjet UV system has been specially developed for high-speed inkjet applications with a high power requirement. A 270 W/cm lamp system guarantees optimum curing of the inks. The compact design allows easy integration of the UV unit into printing systems and production lines. Once again, URS® technology has been used as a basis for optimum adaptation of the reflectors.

IST UV innovation: MBS-5L
UV printing with web printing machines requires reliable technologies designed with costs in mind. The MBS®-5L UV system is based on the air-cooled MBS®-5 UV unit, which is already tried and tested in rotary label printing. The MBS®-5L means that a powerful air cooled UV unit with a lamp length of 550 to 1,100 mm is now available. The highly efficient URS reflector technology is also used here.
