Mimaki, a pioneer in manufacturing of wide format inkjet printers and cutting plotters, has introduced UJV55-320 – a 3.2 metres wide Light-emitting Diode (LED) ultraviolet (UV)-curing inkjet printer. Instant-curing UV ink enables multi-layer printing that reproduces high-quality design with two-layer printing (colour and white) and three-layer printing (colour, white and colour).

As per the company’s website, UJV55-320 is a roll-to-roll-type inkjet printer with a special UV-curable ink that can be cured by UV radiation. The UV-curable ink does not require drying as in general water-based and solvent inks, enabling the initialization of processes and operations immediately after printing.

According to Mimaki, the UJV55-320 wide format printer can deliver speed of around 110 square metres per hour and print resolutions of up to 1200 dpi, depending on the substrates. It can also print on uncoated media and does not require drying, which enables processing and operation immediately after printing, thereby significantly shortening the operation time.

This model is also equipped with LED lights for checking the finishing on the backlit signage during printing. Real-time checks reduce missed printing and thereby decrease wasted media, improving the production efficiency.
