Seamless 360-degree printing on cylindrical items such as bottles using the Mimaki Kebab
Aiming to show visitors how easy and affordable it is to create their own promotional shop, Mimaki has announced that it will be exhibiting at PSI 2018.
On display will be the UJF-7151plus, a compact UV LED direct-to-object printer, which can print on phone covers of different sizes, as well as on acrylic keychains. With a print resolution of up to 1200dpi, the UJF-7151plus features a 710 x 510mm printable area. The machine will feature alongside a Trotec laser cutting machine that will cut the acrylic for the keychains.
Mimaki will also show the UJF-3042MkII and UJF-6042MkII UV flatbed machines. The printers feature multiple ink options and support a wide range of applications, such as LUS-120 inks that can stretch up to 170% for printing on soft material surfaces like wallet smartphone cases. The LH-100 rigid inks are perfect for accessories or stationary products that must stand up to high levels of abrasion, as well as for printing on glass, metal and resin. At the show, these printers will be printing on power packs, pens, aluminium bottles and leatherette notebooks.
‘Our 104sqm stand is designed to realistically simulate a company or factory environment that produces a wide range of promotional items 24/7,’ said Ronald van den Broek, general manager, sales, ‘Whether it is seamless 360-degree printing on cylindrical items such as bottles using the Mimaki Kebab option, decorating phone covers, or printing with flexible ink on materials that stretch or bend, visitors will find the solutions they need to ensure competitive advantage.’
The new UCJV300-160 will also feature on the stand. This integrated roll-to-roll UV LED printing and cutting solution includes a 4-layer Day/Night printing capability and internal lighting system that enables two different images on the same sign – one image appears when the sign is backlit and another when it is not.
