The company says this will be the first look at the desktop A3 size UJF-3042 UV LED inkjet printer since it began shipping in February 2010. The machine combines Mimaki’s UV LED technology with their engineering knowledge from earlier UV inkjet printers.

According to Mimaki, the desktop model is designed for short run production and imprints of industrial products, novelties, cards and nameplates, electronics covers as well as label and packaging applications.

The UJF-3042 has a maximum resolution of 1440 x 1200 dpi and white over and underprint functionality on substrates up to 50 mm. An A3 size product can be printed in high speed mode within four minutes in full colour plus white (over and underprint) plus the unit is equipped with Mimaki’s Spray Suppressor system that enhances consistency, according to Mimaki.

Brad Creighton, DGS Mimaki sales manager says, “It’s an ideal entry level machine that’s both flexible, efficient and friendly to the environment, since we started shipping this year we have had so many enquiries that we just had to have a demonstrator at the Gold Coast expo.”

Also on display at their Gold Coast stand will be the Mimaki’s CJV30 series of integrated print – cut machines and the UJV-160 Hybrid UV printer which prints roll to roll and rigid substrates.
