Mimaki's UK & Irish distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd, has been presented with Trophex's 'Most Pioneering Piece of Machinery' in recognition of the Mimaki UJF-3042HG printer.  The Mimaki UJF-3042HG is a desktop A3 UV LED printer.  It differs from its close relation - the Mimaki UJF-3042FX - with an increased head height of 150mm which enables printing onto an almost limitless range of products.

Mimaki’s LED UV printers have pioneered their way in the personalisation and gift market with their capacity to print high quality images direct to rigid substrates.  They are also cost-effective on short to medium run lengths. The upgraded UJF-3042FX was released in October 2012 and incorporates additional features including an automatic primer function and flexible ink option.

The UJF-3042HG not only provides the increased functionality of the greater head height, but is able to utilise 6-colour printing plus white and clear capability alongside a newly developed white ink circulation system that prevents pigment sedimentation as well as increasing the yield of white ink for more efficient consumption and reduced waste.

Receiving the award from Trophy & Engraving News Magazine’s editor, Kylie Gould, Hybrid’s Industrial Products Manager, Mike Lewis, commented, “Recognition for the Mimaki UJF-3042HG as a pioneering solution from such an important industry for the product is very satisfying. We’re seeing the companies who invest in technology like this machine benefitting immensely from the revenue opportunities it can deliver.”
