Mimaki Europe announced the release of two new LED-UV large-format flatbed inkjet printers, the JFX600-2513 and the JFX550-2513.
The JFX600-2513 and the JFX550-2513 build on the success of the JFX500-2131 large-format UV inkjet printer, launched in 2012, according to Mimaki.
Intending to tackle the high-end UV flatbed market, these new models bear a substantially higher number of print heads, allowing for the JFX600-2513 to reach speeds of more than 300% faster than its predecessor, and the JFX550-2513 more than 150% faster, according to Mimaki.
Available in a six-color configuration, increased from the four-color JFX500-2131, the wide variety of ink sets facilitate vibrant, intense colors perfect for striking indoor and outdoor signage and display graphics, according to Mimaki.
With a maximum printing width of 2.5m x 1.3m and a thickness of 6cm, both the JFX600-2513 and the JFX550-2513 are compatible with standard size signboard production, and their direct-to-substrate capabilities also allow for printing on resin, wood, glass, and metal, according to Mimaki.
“With more speed, colors, and media options, there is a whole world of opportunities with the new JFX600-2513 and JFX550-2513," Bert Benckhuysen, senior product manager at Mimaki Europe. "As the market leader in large format UV flatbed printing, Mimaki is driven by the creativity and resilience of our customers to keep innovating and improving what we do. The predecessor to these latest models, the JFX500-2131, gave us a strong foundation to build on, and we have pushed the boundaries of productivity and versatility to bring two more world-class LED-UV large-format flatbed inkjet printers to market.”
The UV inks developed in-house for the JFX600-2513 and JFX550-2513 have been certified as “GREENGUARD Gold” for meeting exacting chemical substance standards and environmental safety requirements, as defined by independent safety organization UL, according to Mimaki.
