Mimaki has scooped the large-format printing category prize at Viscom’s ‘Best of…’ awards with its new JV400-SUV printer.
Seeing its German debut at the Viscom show, the JV400-SUV utilises Mimaki’s newly developed inks which feature the flexibility of solvent combined with the durability of UV curing inks. During the printing process, the solvent in the ink is absorbed by the receiving layer of the media and the pigment is therefore securely anchored in the substrate. The UV unit then cures the ink, which provides the completed print with a smooth and shiny surface. The prints are highly scratch resistant, weatherproof and immediately dry.
The JV400-SUV is available at either 1.3m or 1.6m widths and achieves a print speed of up to 18m2/hr.
Distributed in the UK and Ireland by Hybrid Services, its national sales manager, John de la Roche said: “The JV400-SUV opens up new options for sign and display companies and the initial impression of the printer is very exciting
