Starcolor’s UV Mercury-Cure Ink is a high-performance UV printing ink engineered specifically for conventional mercury-lamp curing systems used in high-speed flexographic production.
Formulated to deliver fast curing response, exceptional film build and high gloss, this ink provides reliable adhesion across a wide range of substrates — including coated paper, BOPP, PET and varnished stocks — making it ideal for premium packaging, labels and flexible film applications.
Designed for long production runs, UV Mercury-Cure Ink offers excellent chemical and scratch resistance, low migration risk for surface-printed packaging, and stable runnability even under lower-energy or aged mercury lamps. Low-odor and easy to handle on press, the series reduces downtime and press adjustments, while enabling consistent color density and superior print durability.
Starcolor UV Mercury-Cure Ink is formulated for high-speed printing lines that use traditional mercury-lamp UV curing systems. It delivers rapid cure response, strong adhesion across coated substrates and films, and a high-gloss finish suitable for premium packaging and labels.

Why Choose Starcolor UV Mercury-Cure Ink
Starcolor's UV Mercury-Cure formulation is engineered for reliable curing performance on traditional mercury-lamp systems — including lower-energy or aged lamps. Compared with many standard UV inks, it offers improved adhesion on coated and film substrates, more consistent runnability on long production runs, and lower migration risk for surface-printed packaging.
Recommended Curing & Press Guidelines
Mercury lamp energy: 120–160 mJ/cm²
Best printing speed: 100–220 m/min (test per press)
Maintain lamp cleanliness and reflector condition for consistent cure
Notes: Values shown are typical and for guidance only. Final suitability should be confirmed by on-press testing with your specific substrate and curing system.
