As the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for Mimaki, Hybrid Services (Stand E10) will be using the occasion of the show to introduce a host of new printers.

These will include the new Mimaki UJF-715Iplus LED UV industrial-grade flatbed printer, which will be making its debut at the show, together with Mimaki’s CJV150 range of printer/cutters.

A mid-format flatbed printer that features exceptionally detailed output coupled with low running costs, the UJF-7151 features a 710x510mm bed size and industrial construction to ensure high print quality, which makes it especially appealing to screenprinters looking for a digital printing solution.

Also on display will be the MTEX Blue all-in-one dye-sublimation printer for digital textile printing and soft signage applications. Based on Mimaki engineering expertise, it offers a solution that incorporates fixation, thus enabling users to print and cure dye-sublimation inks onto polyester in a single process.

However, the star of the stand is anticipated to be the new Mimaki UJV55-320 roll-to-roll LED UV printer, which created such a stir when it was recently debuted at FESPA Digital.  Combining a retail price of £59,995.00 with a host of innovative features, such as the option to run two narrower rolls concurrently and an inline lightbox for checking the efficacy of backlit output in situ, it uses Mimaki’s latest flexible LED UV inkset to produce banners, backlit and point of sale graphics up to 3.2 metres wide and can also process roll media up to 100kg in weight.  In addition, the LED curing technology offers lower running costs.
