Description
American-Made Quality You Can Depend On
For nearly five decades, TCS Technologies has manufactured premium ultraviolet curing lamps for industrial printing equipment. Our CH231A replacement lamp is engineered as a direct replacement for the original HP lamp while providing outstanding curing performance, dependable reliability, and exceptional value.
Every lamp is manufactured and tested in the USA using premium quartz and carefully selected components to ensure consistent performance from installation through the end of lamp life.
Optimized for Demanding UV Inkjet Printing
The TCS CH231A incorporates a specially formulated metal halide chemistry containing iron, silver, tin, and cobalt iodides. This engineered fill produces excellent UV output across the UVA spectrum for demanding UV inkjet curing applications.
When printing on corrugated plastic (Coroplast®) and other difficult substrates, the enhanced UV output helps improve ink adhesion and curing consistency. If you work with Coroplast, our lamp will help.
Whether producing signs, displays, packaging, or industrial graphics, the CH231A delivers dependable curing performance throughout its service life.

Manufactured by TCS Technologies in the USA
Unlike many replacement lamp suppliers, TCS Technologies manufactures UV lamps in our American facility using precision quartz fabrication, high-vacuum processing, and rigorous quality testing.
Technical Tip
When replacing your UV lamp, always inspect the lamp holders for signs of wear or overheating.
Over time, heat causes the spring contacts inside the lamp holder to lose tension, resulting in poor electrical contact and unreliable lamp starting.
Replace worn lamp holders whenever necessary, and always verify that the lamp is fully seated before operating the printer. A few minutes of preventative maintenance can prevent unnecessary downtime.
