Mimaki Expands Opportunities with New 3.2 Meter UV Inkjet Printer

Mimaki announces the introduction of a brand-new 3.2 meter roll-to-roll inkjet printer. The Mimaki UJV55-320 uses UV-curable ink, cured with a low-energy LED light array. This results in sign and display graphics that exit the printer dry and are immediately ready for further processing, significantly reducing production cycle times. In addition, UV-curable inks emit no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), minimizing its environmental footprint.                 
 
“Large indoor signs backlit with energy-efficient LED lights are growing in popularity in locations such as airports, train stations and commercial facilities as brand owners move to more environmentally sustainable advertising,” said Mike Horsten, GM of marketing for Mimaki EMEA. “The new UJV55-320 is ideal for these applications, and we are very excited to bring it to market.”
 
The Mimaki UJV55-320 is an affordable roll-fed wide format printer that delivers speeds of up to 110 m2/h and print resolutions of up to 1200 dpi, depending on the substrates. Instant-curing UV inks enable post-processing and operations immediately after printing, which helps shorten the operation time and improve productivity altogether.
 
The UJV55-320 also features:
• Cyan, magenta, yellow, black, white, light cyan and light magenta inks that can be configured in a 4-color mode or 6-color set plus white. Light cyan and light magenta inks reduce grainy appearance in light colors and ensure smooth gradations.
• White ink allows printing high quality, vibrant results on transparent and colored media. The three-layer color-white-color printing is especially suitable for production of applications such as window graphics and backlit signs.
 
The UJV55-320 was exhibited on the Mimaki booth at FESPA Digital 2016.
