EDP Awards honour innovative products in the digital printing industry, selected by the EDP Technical Committee, which consists of independent consultant, editors, engineers, and other graphic industry-related experts. In its 17th edition, the EDP Awards recognised MIMAKI in two categories—‘Best Roll-to-Roll Printer Less Than 170cm’ and ‘Best Textile Printer Direc-to-Transfer’.

The two award-winning MIMAKI printers which have been recognised with the EDP Awards 2024 for Innovative Printers are listed with their features in details as under:

UJV100-160Plus

This UV-curable inkjet printer has won the EDP accolade in the ‘Best Roll-to-Roll Printer Less Than 170cm’ category. With a maximum power consumption of 0.5kW, according to research done by the company, UJV100-160Plus uses approximately 20 percent or less power than eco-solvent and latex printers, reducing both energy costs and CO2 emissions. New features like the ink-saving function and maximum 3-layer printing of the printer enhance its capabilities, helping customers lower running costs and expand application possibilities.

TxF Series

Available in two models viz. TxF150-75 and TxF300-75, these direct-to-fabric (DTF) printers have won the award in the Best Textile Printer Direct-to-Transfer’ category. These DTF printers have been rapidly gaining popularity in the print wear market due to their stability and reliability, overcoming common issues in DTF printers in the market, such as ink clogging and ejection failures.

MIMAKI’s advanced technology ensures consistent performance over long periods, making them ideal for diverse printing needs such as custom T-shirts, sportswear, promotional items and many more.
