Printer Lamps

Every detail found on blueprint copies is made with the use of light exposure, and the process of reproducing blueprints begins with a light-sensitized paper. The surface of this kind of paper contains a reactant and diazonium salt, which is a light-sensitive chemical. When the light from a printer lamp shines through the original drawing and the light-sensitized paper, the diazonium salt that is exposed to the light dissipates. With the help of ammonia, the reactant combines with the remaining salt to form the blue lines on the light-sensitized paper. Because the entire blueprinting process revolves around light, blueprint machines should be equipped with printer lamps. Engineer Warehouse has carefully selected the best printer lamps for different kinds of blueprint machines. They are available in various wattages to support the requirements of any blueprint machine. Most of these fluorescent lamps, which means that they can uniformly diffuse light for evenly printed blueprint copies. They can also last for thousands of hours, so there’s no need for frequent replacement.
