[ Features ]
1. Maximum print speed of 60 ㎡/h while at the same time achieving 45 ㎡/h for white ink printing.
- Newly developed piezo print head design
Equipped with the new developed print head (6 print heads with 3 staggered configuration), the “JFX500-2131” achieves print speed up to 60 ㎡/h with CMYK, while at the same time
keeping 45 ㎡/h for white ink printing.
*1 1,280 nozzles per head (320 nozzles x 4 lines), total 7,680 nozzles (1,280 nozzles x 6 print heads)
- Newly developed high-speed UV ink: LUS-150 (*2)
LUS-150, is a newly formulated LED curing ink with high speed curing properties. This ink offers improved curing times resulting in a less tactile sticky feeling. This ink is flexible up to 150% (*3) resulting in increased elasticity and bending performance on wide variety of media and substrates without cracking and fracturing the cured ink during handling or cutting methods.
Mimaki also offers a more rigid type ink formulation for printing on more stiff and hard surfaces requiring greater adhesion properties on these types of substrates.
Type 4-color high speed ink
LUS-150[ NEW ] 4-color vivid ink
LH-100(※4) 6-color gradation ink
LF-140(※4)

Features Newly developed UV ink offers 150% flexibility while providing lower operational costs during high-speed UV printing. Hard UV ink with higher scratch and chemical resistance as well as color re-production on more rigid substrates. Flexible UV ink with rich gradation in 6-color printing reducing granular appearance.

*3 Ink flexibility of LUS-150 and LF-140 may vary according to the substrate, please verify your substrate in advance.
*4 JFX500-2130 may not take full advantage of its print speed with LH-100 and LF-140.
- Newly developed UV LED unit
The New UV LED unit is optimized and the curing efficiency of LED (which has been a concern) is improved enough to cure the ink. High speed UV printing is available with all the advantages of LED technology, such as long-life, energy savings, lower heat generation, cheaper media’s and being able to print on media which is easily deformed or discolored by heat.
2. A 2pt character scale size is possible while printing with a 4pl variable drop forprecise and accurate text printing.
2 units of Mimaki's unique highly-accurate linear scales controlled by IMS (*5) have been equipped, for fine step accuracy and dot placement. This results in far less banding artifacts and even the possibility to print legible 2 pt characters (*6).
Variable drops function provides 3 different drop sizes at once. The minimum size is amazingly 4 pico-litter drop and produces a smooth and natural gradation, without granular appearance even in the 4-color mode.
Mimaki’s proprietary head control technology delivers unrivaled high definition & high resolution prints.

*6 Characters may be illegible depending on the media.

3. MAPS - A mask pattern that effectively reduces bandings – has been equipped.
The JFX500-2131 equipped with a mask pattern. In addition to the normal pattern, you can select "MAPS (*7)" that effectively reduces bandings. MAPS implements printing with multiple passes, using a gradational mask pattern, the UV curing is performed more gradually and it diminishes the appearance of bandings.
*7 MAPS = Mimaki Advanced Pass System.
When MAPS is selected, print speeds are reduced by about 10 %.
