Hybrid Services, Mimaki's exclusive distributor in the UK and Ireland, has announced the commercial availability of white ink for Mimaki's JV400 latex printer. Offering a unique option within the latex printer market, the vibrant and highly opaque white ink works alongside Mimaki's high gamut four colour process inks and is compatible with the JV400-130LX and JV400-160LX wide format printers.

When used in conjunction with the latest version of Mimaki's RasterLink RIP software, three-layer printing is achievable, enabling print providers to create two-way viewed graphics making it ideal for producing window graphics and retail signage onto clear substrates. High quality registration between process and white layers ensures an attractive and high colour result, with the white layer providing the necessary backing for each layer of colour.

The Mimaki JV400 range of latex printers features strong eco credentials alongside a piezoelectric print head that fires variable drop sizes allowing the production of high quality print onto a broad range of substrates.

Hybrid Services' national sales manager, John de la Roche, welcomes the availability of the new colour.  He comments, "Adding creative tools for our customers ensures they are able to generate new profit areas. The Mimaki latex printer range already provides a broad creative capability, but the addition of the unique white ink means our customers can deliver exciting new products onto clear substrates with a vibrant colour yield."
