New clear ink enhances versatility for Mimakiʼs UCJV300 Series
M
imakiʼs recently-introduced LUS-170 Clear Ink can be used on the UCJV300 Series and
offers a host of new design possibilities and expands business opportunities by creating compelling displays using gloss, matte or textured finish. Ronald van den Broek, general manager sales EMEA of Mimaki Europe, said: “With the availability of this clear ink for the UCJV300 series, we have employed our proprietary Mimaki Clear Control (MCC) technology for the first time in a roll-to-roll printer.
“This unique feature shortens the time needed for ink curing to prevent
dust from sticking, ensuring smoother, cleaner clear effects, such as matte or glossy finish. We believe this new ink opens up more possibilities for Mimaki users and enhances the versatility of our award-winning UCJV300 series even further.” To simplify the process of creating clear effects, Mimaki also offers the ARTISTA UV Texture Library, which users can access when they install Mimakiʼs RasterLink6Plus RIP software on a UCJV300 printer. The ARTISTA UV Texture Library features 129 texture swatches for use in Adobe Illustrator to add even more visual effects.
generous donations have had such a positive effect. The kids were over the moon that not only had they each been given something of their very own, but that it was absolutely brand new and especially for them.”
Ms Pickett and the other volunteers from Chichester College are already planning and looking forward to their visit next year.
