Mimaki will demonstrate its latest printer developments and applications at drupa next month, including the new Mimaki JFX500-2131 UV-LED flat-bed ink-jet printer, which can output up to 60sq m/hr in four-colour mode or 50sq m/hr with white ink thanks to new print-heads.

Other new products on the Mimaki stand at the Düsseldorf trade show will be the new JV400-SUV ink-jet printer with solvent UV ink, the Easy Direct Print System for automatic misalignment adjustment, and pre-cut speciality label solutions. The UJF-3042HG print-and-cut machine will also be on show.

The new JV400-LX wide-format printer – which the manufacturer explains is the only machine on the market to offer white latex ink – will also demonstrate its ability to print window graphics at drupa.

"We are very excited to be able to show these new print opportunities to the market," states Mike Horsten, marketing manager, Mimaki.

"Mimaki has always been keen to develop new applications to grow our business. With our JV400LX latex printer and our successful UJF3042 series UV-LED flat-bed printers we have demonstrated that we listen to our customers. Now we offer wide-format flat-bed at high quality and speed."

Mimaki products are distributed in the UK and Ireland by Hybrid Services.
