Mimaki JFX-plus Series LED UV flatbeds, featuring higher print speeds
Mimaki’s JFX-plus Series flatbed UV printers now achieve a maximum print speed of 23.6 sq.m. per hour through the implementation of a post-curing unit, where the printed ink receives a secondary curing after the initial one from the head carriage mounted lamps. The maximum print speed of the JFX-plus
series is now 80% faster than the previous maximum print speed of the JFX-1631. Print service providers requiring fast turnarounds, can now meet their clients’ requirements with the additional print speed combined with the ultra high quality result synonymous with the Mimaki flatbed. The printer is capable of producing high image quality with the ability to output legible 3pt text. Mimaki’s UV LED curing also enables printing to heat sensitive substrates, as its curing diodes do not generate excessive heat and therefore eliminate media deformation and colour changes. The Mimaki JFX-plus series will be
available in two different sizes: JFX-1615plus that features a maximum print size of 1,602 x 1,500 mm and the JFX-1631plus with a maximum print size of 1,602 x 3,100 mm. In addition to the advancement in speeds;
an optional automatic roll unit for unattended and uninterrupted web printing can now be added to the printer. This enables short run print orders to be efficiently processed and printed; significantly improving productivity. Alongside this feature; unattended, overnight continuous printing for large volume orders allows quick turnarounds to be more readily achieved. The JFX-plus Series is able to print on non-coated substrates
up to 50mm thickness and two ink types are available to suit different applications – hard or flexible UV curable inks. Mimaki’s white LED UV ink makes vivid full colour print possible on transparent or coloured substrates and in addition, the clear ink from the hard inkset provides glossy or matte finish adding value to the printed product.
Roll feed option for the Mimaki JFX and JFX-plus Series flatbed UV printers. All inks can be applied with variable layer printing enabling
dimensional printing to create textured effects. In addition to the low running costs associated with Mimaki’s LED UV printer range, the JFX-plus Series sports several other green credentials including the use of Mimaki’s Eco-Cartridges which reduce waste; allowing the user to simply replace the ink pack inside of the cartridge casing. Existing owners of Mimaki JFX-1631 UV LED large format
printers can upgrade their machines to JFX-plus Series specification by investing in the post-curing and/or roll unit. All options are available from Hybrid via the authorised reseller network, and more information is available on their website –
