Mimaki invites dealers to see its impressive new printer range

Earlier this week, Mimaki invited its dealers and distributors to come and see the company’s three new printers being put through their paces at Mimaki’s Sydney Showroom.

With the event providing the opportunity for dealers to engage directly with the Mimaki team, National Sales Manager Jason Hay first gave an overview of the new technologies and their respective developments and differences from previous models.

Hay explained: “Both the large-format JFX220-2515 and new, compact small format UJF200 Series – the UJF200-3042 and UJF200-6042 – UV flatbed printers have been developed to simplify everyday production and reduce manual intervention. RasterLink8 further streamlines and automates these workflows. By combining this high productivity with greater application flexibility, these new systems can help print businesses protect margins and pursue sustainable growth.”

Features such as the printer’s new Anchor Technology are also intended to significantly reduce preparation time, by applying a vacuum only where the media is placed, eliminating masking and manual vacuum adjustments, while automatic locating pins enable fast and accurate media positioning. A new four-head configuration enables dual CMYK printing, delivering print speeds of up to 42sqm/hr.

The JFX220-2515 offers an expanded printable area of 2.5×1.5m, which is suitable for large-scale applications like retail signage and, as standard, can print on media up to 101.6mm thick. Further increasing its capabilities is the addition of fluorescent EFS-150 inks. Meanwhile, the machine’s LD4 mode allows for printing up to 20mm away from the printhead, and the 2.5D Texture Maker enables embossing and braille printing.

Much of the consequent discussion about the new products focused on how these advancements can expand applications, improve production capabilities and create new opportunities for customers. The UJF200 Series, for example, supports direct printing onto objects up to 250mm high and weighing up to 20kg, enabling it to print on items such as carry-on bags and PC cases. The series features highly precise printheads that are said to faithfully reproduce fine text, detailed graphics and smooth gradients, while support for fluorescent inks expands opportunities across bespoke promotional products, product decoration and other industrial applications.

The other new printer unveiled by Mimaki at the event is its new TxF330-800, a direct-to-film (DTF) system that offers automated maintenance and a 16-cartridge ink system with expanded white ink capacity. New Sky Blue and Pale Pink inks expand the printer’s colour gamut, delivering richer colours, smoother gradients and more accurate reproduction of both cool and warm tones.

Hay adds: “Performance and productivity were key drivers in developing the TxF330-800, which presents as the ideal solution for print providers looking to add digital, garment decoration services or those already established in this market but in need of continuous, stable, high-quality printing. With Mimaki’s technical support and expertise combined with the advanced capabilities of this latest DTF printer, customers can take full advantage of efficient, profitable garment decoration.”

Next week – with the first Customer Open Day locked in for Tuesday 13^th October again at the Mimaki Sydney Showroom, followed by future events in Melbourne and Brisbane later in the month – it is the opportunity for customers to come and have a look themselves at the new printers.
