Summary:An apparatus and process for curing UV-curable inks having multiple printhead ejectors and ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). The printhead ejectors are placed on the assembly in a geometry corresponding to the UV-LEDs such that when a printhead ejector deposits an ink droplet upon a substrate moving relative to the assembly, at least one UV-LED can pass directly over the ink droplet.
