This highly coveted award is voted upon by industry leading experts and represents the most forward-thinking technologies for the Graphic Arts Industry. 

The latest AMS LED development – the XP9 – delivers increased power-curing intensity and provides a greater assure of cure even with the most difficult inks, varnishes, and adhesives on virtually any substrate material including coated and uncoated paper, board, plastics, metalized stock, lenticular, and synthetics at speeds as great as 30,000 sheets per hour.
