Mimaki Confirms Participation in FESPA Middle East
Global industry leader and manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers, cutting plotters, and 3D printers Mimaki has announced its participation at the inaugural FESPA Middle East to be held from 29 to 31 January, 2024, in Dubai, UAE.
As a key region for the company, Mimaki will be demonstrating its broad portfolio of high performing printing and cutting solutions designed for sign graphics, industrial, and textile markets, including the 330 and 100 Series alongside a series of cost-efficient inks, to attendees from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.
Arjen Evertse, General Manager Sales EMEA at Mimaki Europe B.V., comments, “In the last four quarters, Mimaki has set the bar high with the largest market share in sign graphics in the Middle East and has seen an increase of 134% in unit placement in the region compared to the previous four quarters. We look to continue and build on that momentum in 2024, starting off strong with our attendance at FESPA Middle East in January. With a portfolio catering to the needs of printing businesses in the Middle East, Mimaki’s technologies offer trustworthy and highly efficient solutions for the sign graphics, industrial, and textile sectors.”
“As the first edition of FESPA Middle East, it’s exciting to be alongside FESPA as they embark on this new venture into what is proven to be a strong and growing market for print,” adds Evertse.
Mimaki will be demonstrating several cost effective solutions, including UJV 100-160Plus, Mimaki’s highly competitive LED UV printer, which will be using the recently announced 3M Performance Guarantee awarded LUS-210 inks. JFX200-2513 EX, a large flatbed LED UV printer equipped with 2.5D print technology, will demonstrate its unique ability to create applications with customised 3D aspects. For those looking to create wider-format prints with Mimaki’s UV printing technology, UJV55-320 can be seen in action.
The company’s solvent printer portfolio at the show will feature the eco-solvent CJV330-160 that produces high resolution, durable prints for signage. Another display will be the entry level JV100-160B solvent printer, which will be part of a full print and cut workflow demonstration, operating in conjunction with the CG-130AR cutting plotter from the CG-AR series. For textile printers, the TS100-1600 sublimation transfer inkjet printer will be of interest at the Mimaki stand.
Decorated with a vibrant underwater theme, created using a wrap-around graphic, Mimaki’s booth (1-C1) seeks to immerse visitors in nature to encourage conversation on the industry’s environmental impact, following the COP28 event in November. Like in previous years, Mimaki will also celebrate customer success with a dedicated gallery, showcasing applications created using Mimaki’s sign graphic and sublimation printing technologies.
