The Award-Winning Products
The Mimaki UJV100-160Plus UV-LED roll-based printer is the definitive entry-level model for sustainable sign and graphics production, with low running costs, versatile output capability, and easy printing for everyone. This model offers improvements over the UJV100-160 model that reduce running costs, extend application capabilities, and optimize operational efficiency. With a maximum power consumption of 0.5kW, the UJV100-160Plus printer consumes less than half the power of eco-solvent and latex printers on the market. Other features on this 64-inch wide model include an ink-saving function to reduce running costs, a multi-layer printing function that expands the application range, and seamless integration with Mimaki cutting plotters to improve work efficiency.
The Mimaki TxF Series – including the TxF150-75 and TxF300-75 models – are DTF printers for heat transfer textile applications. Both models are 32-inch wide printers that include new ink circulation technology to prevent white ink sedimentation. The TxF150-75 printer is an entry-level model while the TxF300-75 printer provides increased productivity with print speeds of up to 108 square feet per hour. Users can count on consistent quality with a three-way intelligent heater to accelerate ink drying. These models can print skin-friendly textiles with OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT Certification of Mimaki PHT50 inks.
