Inkjet & Digital Printing
Mimaki showcased its new digital printing solutions for on-demand short run production of printed fabrics and promotional products at Communiquez Textile/Objet Lyon
Friday 05. February 2010 - Mimakis recently launched UV and textile printers stole the show in Lyon. With one stand in the textile hall and one in the objet hall Mimaki presented appealing and innovative digital printing solutions for every visitor.
The innovative UJF-3042 employing UV LED curing printed superb graphics directly onto gifts, novelties, cards and nameplates thus providing excellent tools for pad- and screenprinters to offer high quality short runs and quick turnaround. In addition, Mimakis new Tx400-800B equipped with adhesive belt carrier system demonstrated high speed printing of beautiful patterns on cotton fabric.
On-demand production of promotional products
Pad- and screenprinters were magnetised by the revolutionary new UJF-3042, an A3 size UV inkjet printer. The machine comes at a very competitive price and excels in low running costs. Producers of gifts, novelties, nameplates and cards of all sorts can now offer high quality personalised printing and on-demand production on a broad range of substrates. If need be, even with same day delivery. Possibilities opening up within variable data printing, personalization, imprinting and a full range of other applications open new doors for print service providers. UJF-3042 excels in low investment costs and excellent print quality thus offering very good value for money. The desktop-sized machine that can print on objects up to 5cm thickness offers all benefits of UV LED curing, among them being able to successfully print on heat sensitive media and a low power consumption.
World show debut of Tx400-800B
Mimaki, pioneer in digital textile printing, showcased for the first time its recently launched Tx400-800B with adhesive belt carrier system in the textile city. Together with the also recently launched Tx400-800D Mimaki now offers print service providers in the textile arena a complete new generation of large format textile printers. Until now there was some reservation about productivity and running costs in digital textile printing, but Tx400-1800B equipped with a newly developed Adhesive Belt Carrier System, changes this perception. In contrast to the earlier model this device stabilizes flexible materials that tend to stretch and contract during printing enabling higher printing speeds as well as ink cost reduction. Needless to say the Tx400-1800B will be one of the most environmentally friendly large format printers for digital textile printing.
