Mimaki’s new JFX200-2531 is a large flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer that has twice the printing area as compared with the entry model, JFX200-2513, while retaining its printer engine.
The new print table is compatible with media as large 2.5 × 3.1 m, which enables printing on a wide range of materials. This includes printing on large signs, walls, doors and furniture. For instance, the print table can accommodate two signage boards having the popular size of 1,220 mm × 2,440 mm. Moreover, the printer allows printing material as high as 50 mm and weight up to 50 kg/m2 to be used.
By employing the large printing area of 2.5 m × 3.1 m, two printing origin points can be set. The toggle print feature allows loading/unloading the print material of one side while printing on the other side.This feature allows operators to mount a board while the printing operation is being performed on the other side.
Mimaki clear control (MCC) has been newly added to the JFX200-2531 model. This technique adds a glossy finish on desired areas and a premium appearance to the print. However, clear-ink prints tend to be ruined by dusts adhering to uncured inks.
In order to minimize dust adhesion and air bubbles on the print, MCC shortens the ink curing time by processing the clear ink print and UV-light irradiation simultaneously. MCC provides a gorgeous gloss finish and a stylish matte finish. Moreover, an embossed print is available by multiple applications of clear ink on specific areas; it adds a dimensional appearance to the print and enables representing the freshness of food or elaborate designs.
