Mimaki’s new UCJV series of print-and-cut machines offers a versatile solution to production. The range comprises the UCJV 150-160 and the UCJV 300-160 with the devices featuring a combined function of both printing and cutting mounted with UV-curable ink.
The UCJV 300-160 is the faster of the two new models, with the ability to print at speeds of up to 25.8 sq m/hr at a top resolution of 1200dpi. The machine can also offer four-layers print and can run with the new, environmentally-friendly UV inks LUS-170 and LUS-175. Features on the UCJV 300-160 include four-layer day/night printing, which enables designers to build layered graphics for backlit applications. This process gives print companies the opportunity to offer a unique product. It's possible to produce a dynamic graphic that morphs its image or color scheme depending on the light source.
Meanwhile the UCJV 150-160 can reach a top speed of 13.4sq m/hr and boasts many of the same features as its sister machine, including productive cutting functions such as the new option ID Cut, which helps improve the overall efficiency of work.
The integrated cutting functionality on the printers enables users to create applications including labels, decals, window clings, floor graphics, POP displays, vehicle markings, packaging and prototypes in a single unit.
