New from Mimaki is the UJF-7151plus flatbed inkjet printer with a maximum printable area of 710 x 510mm. Being marketed as an industrial, small-format printing solution for the screen printing industry, this “direct-to-object” LED UV printer is said to deliver fine lines, edges and small text and enable double-layer printing and colour printing on a white base layer.
MFD1 dithering technology, which processes image data along with retaining original image quality, and improved quality control MAPS4 is said to reduce banding and uneven colour printing.
The unit’s printheads incorporate a continuous ink circulation system and a nozzle check unit automatically detects and cleans any clogged nozzles.
Mike Horsten, general manager marketing EMEA at Mimaki Europe, said: “There has been growing demand for digital, on-demand, and plateless inkjet printing because of its ability to quickly provide high-mix and low-volume printing. The UJF-7151plus enables high-precision ink dot placement and beautiful printing through Mimaki’s proprietary technology and at top-level productivity. The market is growing - we’re keeping our finger on the pulse to deliver the solutions it needs.”
The UJF-7151plus, available via distributor Hybrid Services resellers from November, will be on display at Viscom Italia, Viscom Düsseldorf and Inprint exhibitions this autumn.
