FESPA 2016 saw the launch of a number of new products. Excitingly, included in this line-up is a brand new LED UV printer from Mimaki. The UJV55-320 offers 3.2M wide printing at an exceptional quality of 1220dpi at speeds of 110M2/Hr.
With the launch taking place at FESPA, Mimaki saw sales of over 30 units during the show, proof of the printer's potential impact on the print industry.
One of the most promising and innovative features of the UJV55-320 is the ability to offer twin roll printing; two media rolls can be mounted and printed simultaneously enabling printing different jobs at once.
The UJV55-320 has also seen technological enhancements that offer superior printing for backlit applications. The addition of white ink allows for printing onto transparent media, along with offering vibrancy and style to non-backlit products. The UV curable inks are thicker in their application than conventional inks, this allows for the creation of stunning backlit prints, preventing opacity in areas where it is not specifically illuminated. The addition of a built-in LED light is also supportive of quality and consistent backlit printing. The prints can be proofed as they are printing, increasing quality and productivity whilst reducing waste of time, ink and media.
The UV inks are instantly cured, removing the need for drying time, allowing the printer to support speeds of up to 110M2/Hr.
