Inkcups launches Helix High Throw Printer
The printer has been designed to accommodate height variations while decorating cylindrical and conical products and is also well-suited to challenging items like balls and planters
Hybrid Services will demonstrate two new machines and a new solvent ink from Mimaki Europe for the first time in Europe at The Print Show this month
Announced today, Mimaki has launched four new printers to the sign and graphics, industrial, and textile markets: the Mimaki CJV200 Series of roll-to-roll print and cut solvent machines, the Mimaki TS330-3200DS direct and transfer sublimation printer, the JFX200-1213 EX entry-level flatbed UV printer, and the TxF300-1600 DTF solution.
Hybrid Services, the exclusive Mimaki distributor for the UK and Ireland, will showcase the Mimaki CJV200 Series and the Mimaki TS330-3200DS models at The Print Show for the first time in Europe.
Using the same print engine as the 330 Series high-production models, the CJV200 Series is Mimaki’s new range of entry-level solvent integrated printer/cutters.
This range has been designed to be more accessible to printers of varying levels of experience to operate and maintain and new features include an ‘ink saving function’, a quicker printhead cleaning time, and Mimaki’s Dot Adjustment System (DAS).
According to Hybrid, with a high practical print speed of 17sq m/h, the CJV200 offers one of the highest productivity levels for an entry-level printer and can handle seasonal variations in output volume.
Mimaki’s Advanced Pass System (MAPS4) reduces banding and uneven colours and the Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) minimises downtime.
Mimaki’s new SS22 solvent ink will be released alongside the printer. Building on the success of the SS21 ink, the new solvent ink doesn’t contain increasingly regulated ingredients such as GBL and comes in a paper cartridge.
Also on show from Hybrid will be the newly launched TS330-3200DS 3.2m-wide hybrid printer capable of both direct sublimation printing on fabric and sublimation transfer printing on paper.
The dual capacity of this machine enables users to choose the most suitable printing method based on the fabric and application, making it ideal for both soft signage and home textile.
Designed to meet the needs of businesses seeking a mid-size printing solution, Mimaki has introduced the JFX200-1213EX entry-level flatbed UV inkjet printer. With a print area of 1.2m x 1.3m, the printer sits between Mimaki’s smaller-format UJF Series and the larger-format JFX Series. However, despite being around 30% smaller than the JFX200-2513 EX model, the new JFX200-1213 EX delivers the same image quality.
Completing the lineup of new launches, the TxF300-1600 is the latest addition to Mimaki’s Direct-to-Film (DTF) range and increases productivity by 30% compared to the TxF300-75. Due to a maximum print width of 1.6 metres, the TxF300-1600 can produce garment printing but also larger items such as interior fabrics and floor mats.
All four new solutions will be commercially available in Europe towards the end of 2024 and are equipped with new features, print formats, and higher speeds.
In addition to the four new products, Mimaki has announced the EMEA launch of the CFX Series of high-end flatbed cutting tables previewed during FESPA 2024.
Andy Gregory, sales director at Hybrid Services, comments: “We’re excited to be holding these significant product launches at The Print Show, and look forward to welcoming businesses to the exhibition, who will be the very first in Europe to see Mimaki’s newest technology. Visitors will find the Hybrid Services stand situated at the entrance to the hall.”
