Mimaki UJF-3042MkII EX UV-LED Inkjet Printer

Only one print setting realizes a full operation of primer application to clear surface treatment.
It will contribute to your work efficiency and work time reduction.

8 bottles of ink are settable to the [ UJF-3042MkII EX ] with 4 mounted print heads.
In addition to the basic color set of CMYK, white, clear and primer ink are placed together to the printer. It enables to complete the 4 processes of the base treatment by the primer, the base print by the white, the full color print and the surface treatment by the clear by just one print setting.
It leads not only to the value-added print also the work efficiency and the labor time reduction by the unification of the usual separated works like the primer and the surface coating into just one printer operation.

1. Inkjet primer improving the ink adhesion

While the ink adhesion with the material is not sufficient, applying the inkjet primer will help. The primer can be applied to the desired areas by ink-jetting. This feature retains the texture of the material while printing, which is not possible with manual primer application. The PR-200 available to [ UJF-3042MkII EX ] can be used on resin, glass and metal materials without affecting their texture and improve the ink bonding to the material originally the surface coated.

2. White ink making more effective expression of full color print

The white ink with high opacity can enhances more vivid expression of full color to print together on a deep color or a transparent material as the base.
Plus, max. 2 bottles of white ink can be attached to the printer to realize the high density white print in a short time with more opacity.

3. Clear ink print to represent the texture and to enhance design

With the [Glossy finish] for bright glossiness and the [Matt effect] for muted frosting, [Embossed print] by partial multiple layers, the high value-added print is available by the utilization of clear ink. It adds the glossiness, 3-D appearance, texture and premium feel.

129 types of texture library are ready

By installation of Mimaki RIP software 「RasterLink6」, the [ ARTISTA UV Texture Library ] of the equipment of 129 types of texture pattern will be registered to your PC as the swatch in Adobe Illustrator. Various textures are ready starting the [ BASIC ] pattern for elemental expression and the [ ARTISTIC ] pattern with floral-motif and symbols, the [ MODERN ] with visual effect. 
Expression of those textures with the clear ink can realize the print for more elaborated design.

ARTISTA UV Texture Library Texture List

[ARTISTA UV Texture Library] (129types)
* BASIC (44 types) : Basic pattern
* ARTISTIC (45 types) : Patterns give a design effect with floral-motif and symbols
* MODERN (40 types) : Patterns give a visual effect

4. Advanced mechanical structure assists value-added print products

Table-driven printing delivers superior quality image

To reduce printer unit vibration, the print table moves vertical direction during printing without moving the upper unit of the printer. In addition, to achieve higher positional accuracy, two ball screws are installed on both sides of the table to assist table movement. The precise droplet placement reduces-gloss banding issues and enables creating more valuable print products. In addition, the noise level of this model is remarkably reduced compared to the conventional model; thus, this printer can be installed in an office.
