Mimaki USA announced the UJV55-320 super wide format UV-LED printer, a 128-inch roll-to-roll model featuring seven ink colors including white for printing on transparent or colored media. It will be on display at various worldwide expositions, including the upcoming International Sign Expo, April 21-23, in Orlando.
The new UJV55-320 produces vibrant colors with a high degree of opacity and consistent color for optimal results in day/night applications. Instant-curing UV inks enable multi-layer printing that reproduces high-quality designs with two-layer or three-layer printing. This model is also equipped with an LED light for checking backlit signage during printing.
Large indoor backlit signs are commonly used at airports, transit stations and commercial facilities. This method of visual communications is gaining favor due to the use of long-lifetime and energy-efficient LEDs and a shift toward environmentally conscious advertisements. Since UV-curable inks do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), they’re ideal for creating signs with a low environmental impact.
The UJV55-320 printer supports media up to 127.9 inches (3.2 m) wide for oversized graphics and panels. It can also print simultaneously onto two rolls up to 60-inch (1.52 m) wide each. This dual-roll capability can double the productivity of a shop, with both rolls printing the same set of graphics, or completely different jobs.
This model offers fast print speeds of up to 1184 square feet (110 square meters) per hour. The UJV55-320 supports a variety of uncoated media that does not require drying time so prints can be finished immediately after printing.
The combination of white and color inks adds value to transparent media applications. Compared to other inks such as solvent, UV-curable inks are thicker and maintain vibrancy when used for backlit signage. White ink also enables three-layer printing with color + white + color. The UJV55-320 printer uses Mimaki original LUS-120 UV-LED inks available in cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta and white. LUS-120 UV-LED inks also offer excellent scratch resistance provide up to 170% flexibility making them ideal for foldable and easy-to handle-banner applications.
The UJV55-320 printer will be available in US, Canada and Latin America beginning in April 2016.
