LFP - Large-Format-Printing

Signtrade exhibits three new printers for Large Format, Textile and Industrial Applications

Wednesday 26. January 2011 - At the booth of Signtrade, Mimaki Engineering Co. Ltd.'s distributor for UAE and Dubai, visitors can experience solutions for all Sign and Imaging requirements, be they large format printing, cutting, textile or industrial application printing, with UV, UV LED, aqueous or solvent and eco-solvent inks.

New for industrial applications is the UJF 3042, that enables printing on a broad spectrum of surfaces flat and cylindrical as presented at the show. The staggered head arrangement in the printer enables white over and under printing as well as layered, haptic printing for exclusive designs that catch the eye and provide 3D relief effects. The environmentally friendly energy saving UV LED technology employed in the flatbed tabletop printer facilitates seamless print production of all kinds of individual stationary, accessories, gift and covers of electronic items with up to 1440×1200 dpi.
Two of the new large format printers on show, the JV33-160A (an acqueous ink printer based on the award-winning JV33 series for dye sublimation printing) and the JV5-320DS address the ever growing market for textile printing in UAE. JV5-320DS is a highly productive direct and dye-sublimation printer that prints directly on polyester substrates up to a width of 3.2 m at a maximum resolution of 1440 dpi The machine features Mimaki’s new Spray Suppressor System that decisively improves consistency. Almost all the advanced new features from current JV5-320S are incorporated into JV5-320DS in such a way that highest productivity and excellent image quality are achieved on this direct and dye-sublimation printer that achieves a maximum speed of 60.3 sqm/h. During printing on polyester substrates, inks easily penetrate the fabric. The printer is equipped with a new drying fan that dries inks directly after printing in order to prevent sticking of media during the winding process.
Furthermore, visitors will see the print-and-cut printer CJV30-160 as well as Mimaki’s renowned cutting solutions such as CG60 SR, SL, CG 130 SR and FX, CF1218 and the company’s famous large format printers such as JV33 and JV 5 series. Also the UJV-160 UV LED printer for large format and film applications, that like all UV LED printers enables printing on heat-sensitive surfaces is demonstrated.
