Mimaki shows its strength with new launches

Mimaki looks set to move ahead of competition in the market after announcing a number of new technology launches

The JFX200-2531 LED UV flatbed printer builds on the success of the JFX200-2513 model and will join the JFX200 product family, while the UJF-3042 MkII and the UJF-6042 MkII will be unveiled at Viscom Paris next week.

The JFX200-2531 is a large flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer compatible with media up to 2.5 x 3.1m, which Mimaki says increases the application range to accommodate large signs, wall decorations, doors and other large items. It is also capable of accommodating two signage boards of the 1,220mm × 2,440mm size.

Stuart Cole, national sales manager industrial products for Hybrid Services, the exclusive distributor of Mimaki in the UK and Ireland, says: “This is a really positive development of the JFX range and yet again demonstrates Mimaki’s commitment to listening to its customers and delivering products that meet their ever-changing needs.

I’m certain that this new model will have huge appeal to sign-makers whose businesses are expanding, diversifying and are now looking for greater output capability

With availability expected early next year, the JFX200-2531 will be offered via Hybrid’s network of specialist industrial products resellers.

Meanwhile, the new UJF-3042 MkII and the UJF-6042 MkII have been introduced to replace the earlier UJF-3042HG and UJF-6042 models, respectively, with the manufacturer stating that they offer superior productivity, print quality and flexibility than their successful predecessors.

Both machines offer print speeds 20 percent faster than the older models, while the new device cans also use a wide array of different inksets to take on a host of different types of work.

Mike Horsten, general manager marketing of Mimaki EMEA, comments: “We are excited to be bringing these new printers to Viscom Paris, along with a full portfolio of industry-leading Mimaki printers, including the recently launched UJV55-320, a 3.2m roll-to-roll inkjet printer ideal for backlit signage, and the Tx300P-1800 that delivers high quality printing on a wide range of textiles.
