Exclusive UK and Ireland Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services has brought two new UV printers to market – the UJV100-160Plus and UCJV330-160.
The models are compatible with Mimaki’s new cloud-based printer status monitoring tool for all Mimaki products – Pict – via which printer operation and ink usage data are captured.
The new UCJV330-160 printer/cutter offers LED UV roll-to-roll inkjet printing with a production speed of 28m2/h in four-colour configuration or 18m2/h with white and/or clear inks. The printer is equipped with white and clear inks as standard, and users can print high quality images on traditional media used for outdoor sign graphics applications, as well as translucent, transparent, and coloured materials, including PET, polyurethane and other resin films, textiles and uncoated paper. The UCJV330-160 is also equipped with contour cutting features.
The new UJV100-160Plus model runs at 0.5kW, consuming less than half the power of many other eco-solvent and latex/resin printers on the market according to Mimaki’s own research. A new ink saving function reduces ink consumption by up to 50% while maintaining the colour balance of the printed design, with ink reduction levels set by the operator using RasterLink7 software.
There is also a function that pulls back the printed substrate to enable up to three-layer printing, allowing colour-white-colour or white-colour-clear printing.
The UJV100-160Plus links with Mimaki’s CG-AR cutting plotters, enabling users to output cut data directly from RasterLink7 to the plotter.
Both models will be available through Hybrid’s authorised Mimaki partners.
