PRODUCT LAUNCH MIMAKI UJ330H-160

Flexibility and versatility Mimaki has launched the latest addition to its 330 series, which is aimed at sign makers and print service providers and responds to growing demand for flexible printers that can do more without compromising performance.

For sign makers and print service providers, flexibility is key. Customers increasingly want small print runs on a variety of media provided in tight timescales, so the ability to quickly switch between media is vital. With this in mind, Mimaki has launched the UJ330H-160, a hybrid UV inkjet printer designed to help sign makers and print service providers expand their print capabilities within a small footprint. The UJ330H-160 joins the roster of Mimaki’s well established 330 Series and brings the series’ advanced image quality and productivity into a versatile hybrid configuration. Developed in response to growing market demand across EMEA for flexible, investment-conscious production environments, the system enables seamless switching between roll media and rigid substrates in one platform. “In today’s printing industry, companies need to be more agile than ever,” says Arjen Evertse, director of sales at Mimaki Europe. “They are expected to deliver diverse applications with fast turnaround times and uncompromising quality, often within limited production space. With the UJ330H-160, we provide a hybrid UV printing solution that enables customers

to do more with one system, without sacrificing performance.”

High-definition output The UJ330H-160 has a range of features for print providers. For instance, the newly developed conveyor belt transport system ensures stable feeding of various roll materials without wrinkling or sagging, including previously challenging substrates such as thin window films, fabric and synthetic leather. For rigid materials, the integrated vacuum functionality and lock roller units enable reliable handling of large and thick media up to 50.8mm, including aluminium composite panels and foam boards. Mimaki’s UV inks deliver strong adhesion and excellent scratch resistance on these demanding substrates, helping businesses produce a wider array of applications in-house and reduce outsourcing. Low- temperature UV curing technology further expands substrate compatibility, including heat-sensitive materials. Powered by Mimaki’s 330 print engine, the UJ330H-160 delivers high-definition output with smooth gradients, uniform solid fills and high-density white for impactful backlit and window graphics. Clear ink expands creative possibilities further, enabling gloss and matte finishes as well as textured and embossed effects. Thanks to LED UV curing technology, the system requires no warm-up time and is ready to print immediately, supporting faster job changeovers and consistent productivity.
