agreement for the distribution of Oki’s wide format inkjet printers. Under the terms of this agreement, the two companies will expand their sales alliance in Japan, announced in March 2019, to encompass overseas sales. From Wednesday, April 1, Mimaki will sell Oki’s wide format inkjet printers, ink and other supplies, and maintenance parts in overseas markets, through Mimaki’s international sales network. The products covered by this alliance include Oki’s two wide format inkjet printers capable of high-speed,

high-density printing – the ColorPainter H3-104s and the ColorPainter M-64s – as well as ink and other supplies for these models and for other Oki’s wide format inkjet printers previously sold by Oki. Oki concluded this agreement based on its high regard for Mimaki Engineering’s technological capabilities and sales and maintenance performance in the wide format inkjet printer business. It is thought that the alliance will make
he Infradry Compact is a new high performance infra-red (IR) drying system for a wide range of water-based inks and coatings from Heraeus Noblelight. The drying system combines high power density infra-red radiation with controlled air flow and extraction to provide effective and efficient drying. The radiation to dry inks, varnish or colours is provided by powerful twin tube IR emitters. These can be of wavelengths from near infrared to medium wave, depending on the specific application. NIR emitters operate at a

printed product, the Infradry Compact features a specially developed air management, which feeds an homogeneous distributed air flow into the IR-module's drying area, either by internal or external air supply. This inlet-air is pre-heated by the IR emitters, absorbs the evaporated moisture and removes it from the drying zone. This prevents saturation of the atmosphere inside the drying zone and also precludes leakage of hot air to surrounding, heat-sensitive machine components.

surface temperature of 2600°C for very rapid, intense drying, while medium wave emitters have a surface temperature of 900°C and offer the most efficient mechanism for the removal of water from a product surface. To remove the evaporated moisture from the surface of the
With its very high-power density and its extremely efficient reflectors, which concentrate the IR onto the substrate surface, the new Infradry Compact offers very high drying performance. Its compact, modular design and plug-and-play installation and it is configurable with a wide range of interfaces. Lamp replacement is quick and easy through a slide-in drawer. An integral pyrometer and stepless power regulation ensure precise control of drying operations.
New higher performance series of cutters announced by Graphtec GB A
new series of cutting plotters has been announced by Graphtec GB. Called the CE7000, it replaces the CE6000 series and provides radically enhanced performance capabilities but at a competitive price point and with new and larger size options.
With a cutting performance that equates to the flagship Graphtec FC8600 series of machines, the CE7000 is available in a choice of four sizes (40, 60,130 replacing the CE6000-120 and the new and largest 160cm models). These provide respective media cutting widths of 484, 712, 1,372 and 1,626mm, with a maximum cutting speed of up to 1,000mm/sec on the 130 and 160 machine options and a maximum cutting force of 450g.
The CE7000 series also feature the latest Version 8 of Graphtec’s proprietary ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) system for reliable long-length

(up to five metres) tracking and optimum cutting accuracy. Key design features include a digital servo drive system and graphic backlit LCD control panel, together with a range of standard and optional accessories (including super- steel 0.9mm cutting blades and fibre-tip pens) and a choice of machine operating modes to accommodate different types and thicknesses of material.
The CE7000 is suitable for handling of most types of flexible and semi-rigid materials, including self-adhesive vinyl, heat transfer, paper and card formats. The machine can be used for a wide range of print and cut applications, including those in the signage and graphics, digital printing and finishing, labels and labelling, vehicle marking and decals, labels and labelling, packaging and print wear and promotional products sectors The CE7000 is supplied as standard

with Graphtec’s own-brand design and production software. This comprises Graphtec Pro Studio for Windows and Graphtec Studio for MAC applications, together with the optional Cutting Master 4 program that enables integration with other popular software suites such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. The CE7000 is supported with a no-quibble two-year performance warranty.
