The new printer will run alongside a Mimaki UJV55-320 that was installed earlier this year and allow Digital 23 to improve its production throughput.
The Mimaki UCJV300-160 UV LED has a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi, offers four inks layers and an inkset of up to seven colours including white, all of which dry instantly. Digital 23 opted for the standard four-colour option.
“Business has been so good, and we needed to increase our capacity,” Digital 23 joint owner Calvin Hedley says, adding: “We found that the Mimaki UJV55-320 was more economical to run than any of our other printers, so we were putting everything on it, but it was quite labour intensive to keep swopping 3.2m rolls for 1.6m ones every couple of hours or so.
“The UCJV300-160 has changed all that and fundamentally improved our productivity. Our printers give us the capacity to produce single wall coverings up to 3.2m wide or 1.6m wide drops, whatever our clients want.
“We’re really impressed with the Mimaki brand and it’s a manufacturer we are going to stick with.”
