Silver ink creates high value-added print products

“Shiny silver ink” exceeds expectations

SS21 silver ink’s brightness is 1.67 times greater than that of conventional silver inks.(*) Exceptional brightness means high value-added printing and mirror effect results that exceed expectations.

Metallic colors created by SS21 silver ink add value to print products with simple operations

SS21’s metallic color collection contains 648 colors that are easily printed using the RIP software, RasterLink6. From the printed metallic color collection, an operator may then select a metallic color from the Illustrator swatches. Through simple operations, impressive and brilliant metallic color print products are created by SS21 silver ink.

Orange and light black inks ensure faithful color representation

Orange ink

By using the SS21 orange ink as a process color, 94.8% of the PANTONE color chart is covered with approximate colors. Thanks to a wider gamut with the orange ink, food freshness can be simulated, and corporate colors can be faithfully represented.

Light black ink

SS21 light black ink and superior gray-balance control produce accurate grayscale printing without unexpected color shifts. Smooth and non-grainy skin tones and grayscale gradation are delivered.

Mimaki’s superior print-image quality control technology

Highly-assured inkjet technology

Each ink color has its own specific gravity and viscosity. To achieve precise placement of the ink droplets onto the media, Mimaki designed an optimum waveform that allows the printhead to jet each ink color at the appropriate jetting angle without losing excellent ink droplet circularity. Moreover, various ink droplet sizes are precisely placed from the minimum size 4pl to the maximum size 35pl. Small droplets create beautiful high-resolution printing, and large droplets are very useful for high-speed printing. Thus, the CJV150 satisfies a wide range of needs including beautiful high-quality printing and productive high-speed printing.

Three-way intelligent heater system optimizes the ink droplets size.

When the temperature of the media is not optimized, the perfect shape and size of droplets are not appropriately adhered onto the media. A patented three-way intelligent heater is built into the CJV150, and each heater maintains the temperature appropriately to obtain high-quality printing. The details of each heater are given in Figures below.

Mimaki Advanced Pass System 3 (MAPS3) delivers stable high-quality printing

Generally, swath boundaries are straight lines. Therefore, a slight misalignment between boundaries causes banding or uneven color printing. MAPS3 reduces banding and uneven color printing with blurred boundaries similar to gradation printing.

Quick-dry SS21 ink that achieves outstanding speed

SS21 ink was developed through the concentrated knowledge and technology of Mimaki. The SS21 ink dries quickly on the media due to a good balance between ink penetration and solvent volatilization. High productivity is achieved through high-density printing at high-speed modes without blocking and bleeding.
