The UJF-3042MkII EX is the latest addition to Mimaki’s UJF-MkII series of small format UV flatbed printers.
It offers a unique approach to value-added printing by combining four steps into one: delivering the ability to place primer for strong ink adhesion, white ink for high print opacity, full colour CMYK printing and a clear print surface treatment, all in one operation.
This high versatility approach has been enabled through the addition of a fourth print head and the ability to hold eight ink bottles.
Exclusively distributed in the UK and Ireland by Hybrid Services, the company’s national sales manager, John de la Roche, said: “The addition of the EX to the UJF-MkII range is significant and offers unique opportunities for companies looking for a direct to object printer that can deliver real value-added functionality.”
In addition to all of the advantages of the Mimaki UJF-3042MkII, the new UJF-3042MkII EX adds more features to the standard model for higher performance and ease of use, including a status indication lamp to quickly check the status of the printer, a vacuum table to fix the print substrate and an emergency switch to immediately stop the machine operation. It also offers worry-free operation with automatic detection and cleaning of clogged nozzles, substituting them with good nozzles for printing during the process.
The compressed workflow includes a jettable primer to improve ink adhesion whilst retaining the texture of the material after printing, which is difficult to do with manual primer application. The Mimaki PR-200 primer can be used on resin, glass and metal materials. Mimaki’s white UV ink features high opacity and enables a more vivid expression of full colour, especially on dark or transparent substrates. Two bottles of white ink can be attached to the printer to achieve high density white print in a shorter time with greater opacity.
