Mimaki Europe announced that it will exhibit its portfolio of digital print technologies at virtual drupa.
The company said its brand-new “100 series” will take center stage on its interactive virtual booth alongside new products being unveiled at the event.
“Faced with the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, we all need to adapt and come together to come through this challenging situation,” said Danna Drion, marketing manager, Mimaki EMEA. “For the last 12 months, Mimaki has been at the forefront, supporting customers and prospects with virtual events, networking and educational opportunities to overcome the impact and challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Online events remain central to our strategy and virtual drupa represents a key opportunity for us to share our expertise and encourage print service providers to join us and find new ways to drive their business forward.”
From the 100 series to be on display:
- Mimaki JV100-160: A roll-to-roll eco-solvent printer, the JV100-160 adopts the recently developed, fast-drying eco-solvent ink “AS5” available in both a dual CMYK 4-color mode and 8-color mode (CMYK Lc Lm Or Lk), according to Mimaki;
- Mimaki UJV100-160: A roll-to-roll UV printer that uses a low-cost UV ink “LUS-190” which cures immediately after being exposed to UV light, enabling a faster turnaround without the need for a degassing period after printing, according to Mimaki. The LUS-190 ink can be printed onto not only PVC, but also uncoated substrates such as PET film and paper, according to Mimaki;
- Mimaki TS100-1600: A dye-sublimation textile printer featuring a print width of 1,600 mm and speed of 70 m2/h in the fastest mode, according to Mimaki. The TS100-1600 uses a 1 liter ink bottle. The TS100-1600 is ideal for a diverse range of applications in fashion, soft signage, home and interior, sportswear, and personalized items, according to Mimaki.
According to Mimaki, the new additions are designed to open new application opportunities in the large format and fashion industries.
“By showing our extensive portfolio of cutting-edge technologies at virtual drupa, we aim to demonstrate our clear commitment to the industry. Leveraging our flexibility, forward-thinking approach, and R&D expertise, we are able to adapt quickly to market changes and address new customer opportunities to deliver constant system improvements or brand-new innovations,” Drion said. “The ‘100 Series’ excels when it comes to efficiency and high quality, while also offering flexibility to produce a wide array of applications, from vibrant wallpapers to high-quality signboards. Further to that, the new additions to be unveiled at the show will break new boundaries in their market segments.”
