New Mimaki UJF MkII range to be launched in March
Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Irish distributor, Hybrid Services, will launch new small format LED UV and production direct-to-textile inkjet printers at this year’s Sign & Digital UK exhibition in Birmingham. In addition to supporting its network of resellers who are also exhibiting at the show, the Hybrid stand will feature its hugely popular range of solvent printers and printer/cutters, flatbed and grand format UV printers.
The recently announced Mimaki UJF MkII range of A3 and A2 sized flatbed printers offer next-generation direct to object print capabilities and follow in the footsteps of the original UJF range that rapidly became the de facto small format solution for branding, promotional items, manufacturing components and bespoke gifts.
Mimaki’s new Tx300P-1800 wide format textile printer sees its UK debut at the show and offers a broad range of fabric printing opportunities thanks to its flexible ink configuration options. As capable of producing fashion or furnishings as it is soft signage, the brand new 1.8m printer’s ability to run multiple ink sets, opens up a vast array of applications on manmade or natural fabrics.
John de la Roche, National Sales Manager at Hybrid, states the company’s intentions during the show: “Sign & Digital UK is a key date in Hybrid’s diary. It’s the ideal opportunity for visitors to gain a snapshot of our industry and for us to meet with customers old and new. We’re returning once again in 2017 with impressive new products that join Mimaki’s award-winning line-up of solvent, UV and textile printers. Most importantly, we’re looking forward to showing visitors how Mimaki technology can really benefit their business.”
In addition to the exciting product launches, the Hybrid stand will also feature a broad range of Mimaki solvent printers and integrated printer/cutters, available in a variety of sizes from 75cm up to 1.6m print widths.
“Mimaki’s multi-award winning sign and graphics line-up enjoys a strong reputation within print and display companies the world over,” continues de la Roche. “We’re confident visitors will be inspired by the many creative opportunities these machines offer and look forward to helping them build their businesses with Mimaki’s proven line-up.”
Visitors will also benefit from seeing two of Mimaki’s largest products on display – the hugely successful UJV55-320 grand format LED UV roll fed printer that has taken the backlit sector by storm since its release a year ago and the all-conquering JFX200 flatbed LED UV printer.
“Mimaki has a long history of delivering solutions that hit the requirements of the UK and Irish graphics market and these two UV printers are a perfect example,” adds de la Roche.
Hybrid’s stand can be found directly inside the entrance to the show, which is located at the NEC in Birmingham from March 28th – 30th 2017.
