Mimaki Europe, a leading provider of industrial inkjet printers, cutting plotters, and 3D printers, has announced the launch of two new UV technology solutions that extend the company’s popular 100 and 330 series product ranges – the UJV100-160Plus and UCJV330-160. The new UV printers enable numerous production benefits, provide customers with increased opportunities to extend their application range, whilst also bringing more renowned, Mimaki UV technology to market to support a more sustainable future for the industry.
However, As trailblazers in UV inkjet printing, Mimaki launched the world’s first UV printer with white ink in 2004 and has continued to expand and develop UV technologies that enable versatile, high quality sign graphics printing. The introduction of its entry-level 100 series and its more advanced 330 series printer range took Mimaki’s established technology platforms and applied these robust technologies to the needs of different market sectors and customers at different stages of their digital print business journey.
Arjen Evertse, General Manager Sales, Mimaki Europe, explained, “The pressing need to be more sustainable, as well as the recent pressures associated with rising energy prices, has accelerated the industry-wide need to adopt UV technology. UV printing requires considerably less energy throughout the printing process than other technologies, not least due to the fact that UV-LED inks cure instantly. This both improves the printer’s environmental impact but also saves on production costs and delivery times.”
“At Mimaki, we are committed to supporting the move to UV to ensure more sustainable, efficient print production, future proofing the businesses of our valued customers and of course, ensuring we are working towards improving sustainability for all our sakes. The UJV100-160Plus and UCJV330-160 are the latest results of our efforts to expand the UV printing options available to print service providers, whilst also delivering the unparalleled benefits that are synonymous with Mimaki technologies.”
The new UV print solutions are also compatible with Mimaki’s new cloud-based printer status monitoring tool for all Mimaki products – PICT. Available for customers to download, PICT has been designed to improve the efficiency of Mimaki customers’ print operations and production management by giving them the power to monitor the operational status and performance of their printers from a PC or mobile device. The printer operation and ink usage results are captured for each Mimaki printer in production or within designated groups, providing customers with improved ink inventory management and maintenance and production planning.
