Focus on UV Printing Hybrid Services Expand your off ering
For garment decorators already producing branded workwear, team kits or promotional clothing, expanding into personalised hard goods is a logical next step. Items like pens, USB drives, drinks bottles and even golf balls are often sourced by the same customers – and there’s strong demand for short-run, customised promotional products. The Mimaki UJF-6042MkII e is a popular UV fl atbed printer designed to handle that kind of work. With an A2 print area and 150mm head clearance, it can print directly onto a wide range of rigid substrates, including plastics, wood, metal and glass.
One of several UJF Series models available in a range of sizes, the UJF-6042MkII e is particularly well suited to short-run and on-demand production – making it ideal for adding promotional items to an existing garment offering, or for bringing outsourced merchandise work in-house. The instant-cure UV inks allow for fast turnaround, while the availability of white, clear and primer inks support printing onto coloured or unusual surfaces with accuracy and durability. Jigs can be used to simplify repeat jobs or multiple item printing, and the footprint of the UJF-6042MkII e makes it practical for most small to medium-sized print rooms. For businesses looking to diversify, maximise their existing customer base, or bring outsourced promo work in-house, the Mimaki UJF-6042MkII e delivers commercial-grade results in a compact footprint – and opens the door to new opportunities in short-run, high-margin product decoration.
