This method requires a reactive vehicle (epoxidized drying-oil-modified acrylates) and a light-sensitive catalyst (photosensitizer). Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the light-sensitive catalyst stimulates the reactive vehicle to undergo a rapid increase in molecular size (polymerization), resulting in a cured, hard film. 6, record 1, English, - ultraviolet%20curing

UV [ultraviolet] ink contains a pigment, just as conventional inks do, but other ingredients include monomers and oligomers, which react together with a photoinitiator. When the photoinitiator is exposed to ultraviolet light it starts a chemical reaction that links the monomers and oligomers together, drying the ink. 2, record 3, English, - photoinitiator
