Mimaki has expanded its UV and direct-to-film (DTF) portfolio with the launch of the JFX220-2515 large-format flatbed, two UJF200 Series printers and the TxF330-800 DTF system.

The JFX220-2515, UJF200-6042 and TxF330-800 will be demonstrated by UK and Ireland Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services at The Print Show in Birmingham.

Building on the JFX200 Series, the JFX220-2515 features a 2500 x 1500mm printable area and can handle media up to 101.6mm thick. A four-head configuration enables dual CMYK printing at speeds of up to 42sqm/hr.

Mimaki has also introduced Anchor Technology, which applies vacuum only where media is positioned, alongside automatic locating pins. Other features include fluorescent EFS-150 inks, an LD4 mode allowing printing up to 20mm from the printhead, and a 2.5D Texture Maker for effects including embossing and braille.

The smaller-format UJF200 Series comprises the UJF200-3042 and UJF200-6042. The printers can print directly onto objects up to 250mm high and weighing up to 20kg, with applications including promotional products, product decoration, carry-on bags and PC cases. Optional camera systems automatically detect media position and align print images, while the UJF200-6042 can also be equipped with a belt feeding system for automated production.

Mimaki is launching RasterLink8 alongside the new UV printers. The latest version of its RIP and workflow software adds enhanced job management and automated camera alignment, and supports fluorescent-colour workflows.

Arjen Evertse, director sales at Mimaki Europe, said: “The JFX220-2515 and UJF200 Series have been developed to simplify everyday production and reduce manual intervention. RasterLink8 further streamlines and automates these workflows.”

Completing the launches is the TxF330-800 DTF printer for textile decoration. It features automated maintenance, a 16-cartridge ink system with increased white ink capacity and new Sky Blue and Pale Pink inks intended to expand the available colour gamut.

Following their EMEA debuts, the new JFX220-2515 and UJF200 Series will be showcased at more than 75 launch events across the EMEA region.
