Award-Winning Products (The Excerpts from EDP Comments)
The UJ330H-160 is a hybrid UV printer that delivers new value to the sign graphics market. Supporting both roll media and rigid substrates, it offers exceptional versatility, enabling a wide range of applications with a single printer. In addition, its UV printing technology allows stable printing on heat-sensitive materials that may be susceptible to deformation. This makes it a practical solution even for applications traditionally dominated by solvent and latex printers.
The UJF-7151 plusII e is a UV flatbed printer designed for high-value-added and industrial applications, delivering high-definition direct printing on three-dimensional objects. It accommodates substrates weighing up to 30kg and measuring up to 153mm in height, while its LD3 mode enables stable printing on curved and uneven surfaces. In addition, the printer supports 2.5D embossed printing with raised effects of up to 5mm, making it ideal for applications that require a premium look and distinctive design. Enhanced primer application performance and a broad lineup of UV inks further provide the flexibility and reliability demanded by production environments.
The TS330-1800 is a dye sublimation printer for textile apparel, supporting print widths of up to 1.9m and enabling new opportunities in interior fabrics and sports apparel. Delivering high-speed output of up to approximately 140sqm/h, it combines MIMAKI’s proprietary imaging technologies with an 11-colour ink lineup, including Orange, Violet, and two fluorescent colors, to achieve outstanding color reproduction and consistently high image quality. Stable media transport performance and high-capacity ink options further make it a highly regarded solution that delivers the productivity, reliability, and scalability required for industrial production environments.
MIMAKI JV & CJV Series printers and compatible inks approved for 3M MCS Warranty Program
Bringing long-term warranty for graphics to more customers, MIMAKI has announced that its range of JV200, CJV200 and JV330, CJV330 eco-solvent printers and compatible inks have been approved for the 3M MCS Warranty Program, which is the most comprehensive finished graphics warranty in the industry. The program provides non-prorated warranty coverage for the graphic’s intended lifespan, including protection against fading, cracking, peeling, blistering, discoloration, and other aspects of graphic performance, thereby providing print service companies and their customers with the peace of mind and confidence that their graphics will perform as expected for the intended lifetime of the printed graphic.
With the addition of the entry-level JV200 and CJV200 Series printers to the certified lineup—which previously included the production models like JV330 and CJV330—even more customers can now choose this warranty program Furthermore, the newly certified eco-solvent ink ‘SS22’ delivers vibrant color reproduction and high weather resistance, while significantly reducing the characteristic odour of solvent inks, contributing to a more comfortable working environment.
As a result, the 3M MCS Warranty Program is now compatible with a wide range of printing environments, from entry-level to production applications creating an environment in which a broader range of print service providers can more easily offer long-term durability.
