Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What does "medium wave infrared" mean for print drying?

A1: Medium wave infrared lamps emit radiation that is particularly effective at penetrating and heating the water content in aqueous coatings and the pigments/binders in conventional inks.1 This leads to more efficient and thorough drying from the inside out, reducing issues like blistering or incomplete curing compared to shorter or longer wavelengths.

Q2: Is this lamp a genuine Heidelberg OEM part?

A2: This lamp is manufactured to be a direct functional and dimensional equivalent to the Heidelberg OEM part number 91.170.1411, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with your Speedmaster 102.

Q3: How do I know if this is the correct replacement lamp for my press?

A3: The most important identifiers are your press model (Heidelberg Speedmaster 102) and the exact part number (91.170.1411) found on your existing lamp or in your press manual. It is critical to confirm the wattage (2500W), voltage (415V), and length (1100mm) as well, as these precise specifications ensure proper and safe operation within your press's electrical and drying system.

Q4: What are the signs that my IR lamp needs replacing?

A4: Common signs include uneven drying, slower drying times, reduced ink adhesion, visible discolouration or darkening of the lamp's filament/quartz, or the lamp failing to illuminate. For optimal performance, regular inspection and replacement based on manufacturer recommendations are advised.

Q5: Can I install this lamp myself?

A5: Due to the high voltage and specialised nature of printing press components, installation of this IR lamp should only be performed by a qualified and experienced printing press technician or a certified electrician. Improper installation can be extremely dangerous and may damage the equipment.
