Mimaki Europe has unveiled its new vision, structure, and go to market strategy against a backdrop of new products making their debut at Fespa Global Print Expo in Berlin.
Mimaki’s new technology and ink products represent more than 50 per cent of the company’s product line-up being demonstrated live on its stand at this week’s Fespa Global Print Expo.
These latest solutions include the new Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 printer.
The UJV300DTF-75 enables product customisation and value-added printing on items of all shapes and sizes, including those with uneven or rounded surfaces, as well as sign and interior décor applications. It uses a transfer printing method, where the design is printed directly on a glued film, applied to a transfer sheet which is then applied to the object. Mimkai says this further expands application and creative possibilities with reduced risk of misprinting. It adds that, equipped with proprietary silicon film pinch rollers, the printer addresses issues such as film peeling off or glue being removed, maintaining print stability for desired quality and accuracy
Also showcased for the first time, Mimkai’s next generation of UV inks includes ELS-170 and ELH-100 The range abides by EU’s Rach regulation (SVHC regulation) and is Greenguard Gold certified. The UJV300DTF-75 uses a combination of the two: ELH-100 (hard ink) for White and Clear, and ELS-170 (flexible ink) for CMYK.
Two new printers, the JV200-160 and Tx330-1800, are also making their debut. The roll to roll JV200-160 uses eco-solvent inks and offers reliable signage production with outstanding print quality.
Created for the textile and apparel markets, the Tx330-1800 has a dual ink set capability to switch between textile pigment inks and dye sublimation inks for a more diverse range of applications in one machine.
Arjen Evertse, sales direcf for Mimaki Europe, says, “Mimaki is a truly international company. After over 20 years with Mimaki, I have witnessed the business lead and inspire change across the industries we serve.
“Now, in our 50th year, it’s the ideal time to look to the future and adapt our strategy to meet the new demands of the market – many of which we have been instrumental in creating. Our vision now is to support the needs of a more diverse, flexible print industry.”
To mark 50 years of introducing transformative technology to the sign graphics, industrial, and textile printing markets, Mimaki has launched its ‘Print Different’ vision. The initiative celebrates Mimaki’s legacy of breakthrough technologies and highlights the company’s continuous commitment to driving creativity and sustainability in the digital printing industry.
“It’s an exciting moment in Mimaki’s long-established history, and I feel privileged to be at the forefront of this new strategy, leading our team and supporting our customers into this next phase of growth and success.”
