What can a UV curing system do for your RMGT, Ryobi or Mitsubishi press?
UV benefits for sheetfed offset printers
- Faster turnaround – Instant ink drying enables immediate finishing and despatch of jobs. Sheets can be folded, cut, bound and processed right away, reducing work-in-progress and significantly shortening lead-times.
- Print without limitations – UV and UV LED inks enable printing on almost all stock types including PE, PET, PU, synthetic paper etc. and bring added value and increased product diversity with coated and uncoated papers, plastics and foil laminated sheets.
- No marking, no sealer or spray powder – Marking of sheets in the delivery or perfecting process is eliminated and machine varnish or sealer is no longer necessary. No spray powder is required, removing widespread contamination and associated cleaning and maintenance.
- Sharper dots and vibrant colours – UV curing retrofits achieve sharper dots, more vibrant colours and a higher quality finished product.
UV LED benefits for sheetfed offset printers
- Print without limitations – Unlike UV lamps, LEDs emit little infrared heat towards the substrate. This avoids common issues such as high pile temperatures, curling of heat-sensitive materials and loss of moisture in paper.
- Ultimate productivity and peace of mind – No moving parts for low maintenance and no warmup/cool-down mean less UV related downtime, which increases press productivity. Furthermore, GEW offers up to 3 years’ LED warranty, irrespective of running hours.
- Reduced energy consumption – LED instant on-off means that no energy is consumed when the press is idle. The higher electrical efficiency of LEDs and the purity of UV output allow typical energy savings of up to 70%, compared to H-UV or IR lamp systems.
- No marking, no sealer or spray powder – UV LED inks and varnishes are 100% cured instantly after the LED lamp.
What RMGT, Ryobi or Mitsubishi presses has GEW supplied UV curing systems for?
GEW UV curing system installations on RMGT 10
Hagg Press is a ‘Top 400 Printer’ in the US, according to Printing Impressions in the USA. The family company made a decision to upgrade their RMGT 10 series press to GEW UV LeoLED in a bid to stay ahead of the competition.
Watch the case study video below to hear from the customer directly, or read the Hagg Press case study here.
This Spanish customer bought a mixture of E4C and LeoLED for their RMGT 10 series.
GEW UV curing system installations on RMGT 9
Martin One Source switched to GEW UV LED curing in a bid to lower their energy consumption.
Watch the video case study below to find out how Martin One Source saved $40,000 a year from switching to UV LED, or read the case study article here.
In comparison, Push Solutions were early adopters of UV LED in a bid to gain a competitive advantage over their competition. The benefits were beyond what they could foresee, however, as Push were able to expand into multiple new markets and open up many new revenue streams.

GEW UV curing system installations on RMGT 7
J & J Printing made a decision to move to GEW UV LED on their RMGT 7 press in an effort to bring more of their outsourced work in-house. Part of this shift meant purchasing a bigger press, alongside a UV LED curing system to give them the option to do this work. It also gave them the opportunity to take on new types of printing they couldn’t do before, like coatings and double-hit opaque whites.
Watch the video below to see J & J’s reaction to the purchase of a GEW UV LED system, or read the case study here.
CBS Printing installed a LeoLED curing system on their RMGT 7 series press. The Australia-based printer decided to ‘bring an old press back to life’ in the hope it would be able to support their RMGT 9 series in dealing with the increased demand they saw during COVID from the increase in ready meal and safely pre-packed packaging.
Initially, they couldn’t run this additional work through the 7 series, as it wasn’t up to the job. The installation of the UV LED curing system changed that, giving CBS the opportunity to push the new work through the 7 series and leave the 9 series producing the A1 sheets it printed best.
You can learn more about CBS’ experience with UV LED on their RMGT 7 series by reading the case study here.
GEW UV curing system installations on RMGT 6
KC Print are an Irish printer that decided to move to GEW UV LED on their RMGT 6 series as a way to stay ahead of the competition and make their coating work more efficient.

Which UV curing systems are most suitable for RMGT, Ryobi or Mitsubishi presses?
GEW has two main offerings for sheetfed offset printers, depending on whether your RMGT, Ryobi or Mitsubishi press requires a UV LED curing system, a mercury arc curing system, or both. You can find out more about these options below:
LeoLED2
LeoLED2 takes LED performance to new heights over GEW’s already highly-acclaimed, water-cooled LeoLED system. Offering a 55% increase in electrical power (140W / cm), a 50% increase in UV dose (300mJ / cm²) and a 45% increase in UV irradiance (44W / cm²) compared to its predecessor, LeoLED2 is GEW’s next generation UV LED curing system that guarantees the best performance on the market for the most challenging curing applications.
As with the generation 1 model, LeoLED2 is available in both a cassette version and a compact version, depending on the requirements of the customer, their equipment and their application. Both models are designed to interchange with every current arc lamp model in GEW’s range. This patented ArcLED technology gives ultimate flexibility on press, no matter the application.
LeoLED2 also comes in two power level options, offering ultimate customisability to customers, depending on their application and energy saving needs, whilst providing faster printing speeds alongside GEW’s renowned process reliability.
This lamp can be used in the delivery position alongside GEW’s E4C, giving printers access to GEW’s ArcLED technology. To see this in action, watch the video below.

E4C
E4C offers the highest power available from the GEW mercury arc range, to support the most demanding UV curing applications and the fastest printing speeds on sheetfed machines. It performs to the harshest cure test procedures and is suitable for low migration applications.
E4C has optically tuned reflectors to maximise curing power and operates quietly, with minimal air requirements. Water flow monitoring technology ensures water flow at all times, and the E4C’s water-cooled reflectors support the highest UV power whilst limiting heat transfer to the substrate, making it safe for a broad range of heat-sensitive materials.
It is designed to operate with the lowest level of maintenance and is engineered for fast, easy lamp changes. All replaceable components are plug-and-play, and the reflectors can be cleaned and fully replaced without breaking the water seals. Furthermore, the reflector mechanisms and seals are tested to millions of operations to ensure reliability.
Find out more about E4C on our E4C product page or download the E4C for sheetfed brochure:
ArcLED compatible
ArcLED hybrid UV technology allows interchanging of a UV Arc lamp or LED array in the same housing.
Optimise your press with a mixture of Arc and LED curing on any station, for the ultimate flexibility.
GEW have held granted patents covering this technology internationally since 2016.
