New Mimaki UJV100-160 awarded Best Roll-to-Roll Printer by EDP
Mimaki has announced that the European Digital Press Association ( EDP ) has presented the ‘ Best Roll-to-Roll printer up to 170cm ’ award to Mimaki for its UJV100- 160 LED-UV inkjet printer .
The Mimaki UJV100-160 wide format UV-curable inkjet printer , designed for high quality printing and maximum productivity has been awarded Best Roll-to-Roll printer by EDP .
Confirmation of the prestigious award coincides with the highquality , high-productivity printing solution being imminently available for the UK and Irish market . Many of the features that make the UJV100- 160 printer cost-effective , reliable , and easy-to-use were noted as key factors that contributed to the EDP judges choosing this printer for the award .
EDP ’ s Technical Committee states : “ Mimaki offers a price breaking device with UV printing speeds up to 23m2 / h . This printer offers not only CMYK but has also the option to install white and clear inks , and the new innovative system helps to maintain the quality because of the control of dot placement and media feeding , one of the most common errors in inkjet printing . The UJV100-160 is certainly an excellent entry level printer , including many features of Mimaki ’ s advanced UV technology at an affordable price .”
The Mimaki UJV100-160 has received the EDP award for Best Roll-to-Roll printer .
Commenting on the award , Brett Newman ; Managing Director at Hybrid Services , Mimaki ’ s exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland , notes , “ The features recognised by the EDP Technical Committee are precisely what makes the new UJV100-160 such a powerful offering for companies looking to invest in all the many benefits of Mimaki ’ s proven LED UV cured print technology . The response to the new printer has been extremely positive and it ’ s satisfying to see it recognised so highly .”
The UJV100-160 is compatible with a wide variety of media , including metallic foil , fabric and uncoated materials , enabling sign makers to produce a diverse range of high-value applications , such as posters , point of sale , soft signage , stickers and window decoration . The printer features two newly developed printheads and the new DAS ( Dot Adjustment System ) feature . DAS automates conventional dot placement ( dot position and feeding correction ) for maximum image quality , saving operators time and reducing manual errors .
“ Packing so much tech into such a competitively priced printer is nothing short of remarkable ,” Newman continues . “ Demand for such a solution is substantial and we ’ re looking forward to starting the new year on a high by introducing the UJV100- 160 to the UK and Irish market .”
Delivering further time efficiencies , the UJV100-160 prints at a maximum of 23m2 / h with VOC ( Volatile Organic Chemicals ) -free UV-curable ink . This environmentally conscious ink cures instantly after printing , eliminating the drying time that water-based or solvent ink requires . Post-processing , finishing and application are therefore possible immediately after printing , reducing production time and enabling printers to deliver products to short deadlines .
“ The UJV100-160 is a versatile , robust and efficient solution for sign makers looking to delve into UV-printing and diversify their offerings ,” says Ronald van den Broek , General Sales Manager at Mimaki Europe . “ We ’ re extremely proud that the quality and productivity of this printer has been recognised by the EDP and are excited to bring it to market this month , providing our customers with another innovative solution designed to help them increase their competitive edge .”
