Abstract
The cure rate of a high gloss overprint varnish was compared using a s tandard medium pressure mercury lamp and a high intensity xenon chlori de lamp. Samples with equal photoinitiator concentration cured at a mu ch faster rate using the xenon chloride lamp. It was found that the co ncentration of the photoinitiator could be greatly reduced and still g ive rapid rates of curing when the xenon chloride lamp with peak outpu t at 308 nm was used.
