Mimaki launches a new UV-LED Inkjet Printer image

Our flagship line, the “330 Series,” has contributed to the expansion of our customers' businesses with its high image quality and high productivity and has been highly praised by production sites around the world.

Mimaki Engineering has developed the UJ330H-160 to offer outstanding image quality and high productivity to even more customers. This hybrid UV-LED printer, which is designed to switch between roll and rigid output quickly and easily in a single unit without the need for the large space and capital investment usually associated with a dedicated 4x8 flatbed device, is positioned as the "Next Standard" for graphic production sites such as sign makers and commercial printers.

This product is designed to switch between roll and rigid output quickly and easily, increasing production efficiency. It can handle a wide range of materials and applications in relatively small spaces with minimal operator intervention.

To achieve stable output to various roll materials, this product uses a newly developed belt-transport system. Thin films and fabrics, which can be difficult to handle with conventional transport methods using grit rollers, can be reliably transported without losing proper tension or creating wrinkles. As a result, by enabling applications such as window graphics and fabric signage, production for exhibition booths and retail spaces become possible with a single machine.

In addition, this transport system also provides high stability when outputting rigid materials. The Auto-Vacuum and front and rear lock roller units allow stable transport of large and oversized materials, such as 4x8 size aluminum composite plates and up to 2-inch-thick rigid boards. Sheet media production, which has traditionally relied on mounting processes and outsourcing, can be shifted to an efficient, fully in-house production system.

In terms of image quality, the printer is equipped with a print engine that combines a high-density, high-definition print head and proprietary image quality control technology to deliver industry-leading image quality. From uniform solids to smooth, subtle gradients, it faithfully reproduces with high productivity with a practical throughput of 150.6 ft2/h*1, enabling graphic production that is vivid and powerful. 

 

In addition, automatic adjustment functions ensure that this high image quality can be reproduced easily, ensuring high production efficiency and consistent quality regardless of operator experience.

Furthermore, the UV ink used in this product is designed to be free of SVHC*2 and CMR*3, ensuring industry-leading safety. Contributes to a workplace that is safe for both operators and the environment, while also anticipating compliance with global environmental regulations.

Moreover, by integrating the RIP software “RasterLink7,” which enables consistent control of high-value printing such as UV-specific multilayer and high-build effects and gloss/matte finishes using clear ink, with the cloud-based monitoring tool “PICT,” which visualizes output status, it provides comprehensive support from printing through management. The product streamlines production site operations, making them simpler and more efficient, while supporting the development of customers’ production environments.

Mimaki USA will be exhibiting the UJ330-160 running live in booth 2223 at the ISA Sign Expo April 8th– 10th in Orlando, Florida.

Sales of the UJ330H-160 hybrid UV inkjet printer are scheduled to begin in April 2026 and is expected to sell 400 units per year worldwide.
