Phoseon Technology expands in flexo retrofit market

This will provide Phoseon’s flexographic retrofit customers financial services with flexible payment options, as well as professional maintenance service contracts to ensure greater profitability gains.

‘Phoseon Capital Services is a new offer designed to provide converters with financial and maintenance options to make the transition to UV LED curing systems easy and affordable,’ said Bill Cortelyou, president and CEO of Phoseon. ‘With over 1,400 flexo press stations curing with Phoseon Technology, converters are realizing the benefits of UV LED curing. With a professional service offering from Phoseon, we will make that transition as easy as possible for our customers.’

Phoseon Capital Services’ team will help companies build the right Phoseon UV LED curing system for their specific requirements, choose a payment plan and schedule installation of the lamps. With global capabilities, Phoseon Capital Services will assist companies in retrofitting their existing printing operations with UV LED lamps.

Phoseon Capital Services offers up to 36-month payment and up to 48-month leasing options, both of which come with a professional evaluation to determine all necessary components, professional retrofit installation and training services, and a matching warranty on the UV LED lamps during the purchase or lease period. Phoseon Capital Services also provides leases with quarterly check-up maintenance services and a buy-out option at the end of the lease. It also offers purchase customers extended maintenance contract options.

‘This is a full-service global operation, helping customers determine the right UV LED curing equipment for their specific needs, offering financing options and providing on-site installation and continual support service,’ said Cortelyou. ‘Given our history with UV LED curing, we are confident in the quality of our technology and the exceptional results customers are able to achieve using Phoseon UV LED curing systems.’

‘Working with our partners enables us to fine-tune the curing process to exceed our customers’ expectations,’ said Keate Despain, VP of Phoseon marketing. ‘We believe by working together, the concerns of switching to a better technology like UV LED curing are best addressed by a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.’

UV LED curing has no moving parts, virtually eliminating down-time for maintenance and repairs. UV LED bulbs last longer and require less energy to operate than traditional arc lamps, reducing converter operation costs and energy usage by up to 70 percent. In addition, because UV LED curing does not contain mercury, which is used in arc lamps, it is safer for the environment and workplace.

Phoseon has shipped more than 100,000 lamps used for applications ranging from packaging for consumer goods to the disinfection of laboratory samples. Its platform of LED products is found around the world, and continues to be the performance leader due to its ability to get more energy and focused output from UV LEDs than any other supplier.
