Last year the smaller version, the A3 format UJF-3042HG, won the award, consolidating the position of the small-format Mimaki flatbed range in the market as a strong choice for buyers.
The UJF-6042 adds increased bed size to the smaller 3042 unit—with an A2 (610 x 420) format vacuum table and 150mm head height, allowing a range of substrates to be printed on.

One application demonstrated at the show was the production of promotional items, such as pens and iPhone covers, as well as acrylic photo blocks and awards. Forming part of I-Sub Digital’s Digi-Foil system, where traditional foil techniques can be replicated within a digital workflow, the Mimaki delivered spectacular foil effects onto trophies and plaques.
Exclusively distributed in the UK and Ireland by Hybrid Services, Mike Lewis from the company says: “To receive such an important award for the second year running is a great accolade. The Mimaki UJF range is the world’s most popular UV flatbed printer for good reason—it allows print companies to be innovative in their product offering as well as creating strong revenue streams for them, a vital area for customer retention as our economy continues to recover.

The Mimaki UJF range starts from £16,995 and features white ink, unique digitally printable primer, and a clear varnish, alongside vibrant process colours. With the UJF-6042 capable of achieving up to 1800dpi photo quality output, the firm claims the printers deliver quality and productivity across a broad variety of markets.
