Written by Samantha Kehoe | Aug 15, 2024 9:00:00 AM

If you’re planning to invest in a UV printer it’s essential you pick one that is not only robust and high-quality, but which gives you a good return on your investment too. UV printers offer great versatility, they can print onto a wide range of substrates and they offer instant curing. They also enjoy high output; they’re low maintenance and they’re considered more environmentally friendly than their solvent-based cousins.

There’s no doubt a UV printer is an investment but the Mimaki UJV100-160 Plus is one printer which should be at the top of your wish list. Here’s why:

High Quality And Versatile

Having won the 2024 “Best Ready To Roll Less than 170cm” Award with the European Digital Press Association, the Mimaki UJV100-160 Plus takes UV printing to the next level. Building upon the Mimaki UJV100-160, it has all the existing features plus three additional functions which not only expand its range of applications but also reduce running costs and improve work efficiency too. It enjoys:

  • Pull-Back Printing Feature – This enables three-layer printing with combinations of white, colour and/or clear ink.
  • Reduced Ink Consumption – Using Rasterlink7’s new ink saving feature you can cut down on ink usage by as much as 50% whilst still maintaining colour tones.
  • Direct Cutting – In combination with the CG-AR Cutter you can cut directly from Rasterlink7 without having to use FineCut.

A Standout Printer For White Colour Printing

Mimaki has been at the forefront of developing white ink printers and this extensive research is evident in the Mimaki UJV100-160 Plus. Its quality and performance are exceptional in terms of speed, print quality, brightness and opacity. It can print onto either a clear or coloured substrate. It is ideal for window graphics, enabling printers to print with a reverse colour backed by white or opaque. It also dries rapidly and can be quickly trimmed and fitted ready for installation.

Two-Layer And Three-Layer Printing

The Mimaki UJV100-160 Plus has both two-layer and three-layer printing options offering versatile print expressions. For example, it’s possible to print white first then colour or transparent and then colour in a two-layer process. This is great for things like labels or window graphics. In the three-layer process it’s possible to print colour, white, colour which works well for backlit signage, or clear, colour, white for window signage. It enables you to create crisp colour signage with or without a white base.

Increases Business Diversity
