Focus on Wide-Format Printers Hybrid Services Expand application potential and productivity y
For established sign makers managing complex workflows and varied client demands, the Mimaki UCJV330-160 delivers a balanced combination of creativity, production efficiency and material versatility. Built on Mimaki’s latest 330 Series platform, the integrated
printer/cutter uses instantly cured UV inks, allowing output to be finished as soon as it comes off the machine. Graphics can be laminated where required, trimmed, packed
and shipped without delay, helping to maintain momentum through the workshop, particularly during peak trading periods. Removing waiting time between print and finishing supports
tighter scheduling and makes it easier to respond to last minute changes or urgent installation deadlines. The inclusion of white and clear ink on the UCJV330 expands
the creative scope considerably. High opacity white supports bold window graphics on transparent media, while layered printing enables day and night backlit applications produced in a single process. Clear ink adds the option of spot gloss or textured effects,
offering subtle differentiation for retail, hospitality and corporate interiors. These capabilities allow sign makers to produce premium,
value added work without outsourcing. Wide ranging material compatibility further strengthens its appeal, with the
