Labelexpo Europe 2009: A first for Mimaki
Thursday 09. July 2009 - At this years Labelexpo in Brussels Mimaki Europe will showcase its on-demand print and cut label production solutions at booth 9 F24.
Mimaki Engineering, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutting machines for the sign/graphics, textile/apparel and industrial markets is pleased to announce its participation at this years Labelexpo Europe in Brussels from September 23-26.
As many printers and converters are taking advantage of the new opportunities and markets this area provides, run lengths shorten and turnaround times decrease, digital print with its offerings of short run, short lead time and in addition variable data and added value propositions is primed to make more than an impact on this industry.
Mimaki Europe will be displaying solutions for short run label production with its new UV LED curing UJV-160 printer that among others enables label production on heat sensitive media as well as offering one of the most environmentally friendly footprints in the industry. Due to the fact that UV LED does not emit ozone nor uv rays and uses only one third of the energy required by conventional UV printers it is prone to make an impact at the show. The possibility of producing products with Mimakis white underlay or overlay print, gives excellent results especially on transparent or coloured substrates.
The printed products will then be cut on Mimakis CG-FX Series, a top class roll type cutting machine, that features accurate contour cutting not only straight but also around printed labels as well as die cutting. The die cut function cuts completely through the media, while leaving little connection points, so the labels can be easily detached when necessary.
In addition the CJV30 Series, an integrated print and cut solution, will be presented. The CJV30 will print and cut labels in one step. It incorporates Mimakis award-winning and renown printing technology already employed in its JV33-series as well as Mimakis cutting edge cutting technologies.
“Mimakis reputation as innovative and high quality supplier of machinery for the large format, textile and industrial markets places the company at the forefront for providing digital inkjet solutions in todays challenging times. We are very pleased that we can now offer our renown technologies to label printers enabling them to broaden their businesses and strive to further heights”, says Sakae Sagane, Managing Director Mimaki Europe.
