MIMAKI launches new MUH-100-Si UV-curable metallic ink

Pushing the boundaries of graphic expression beyond ordinary UV flatbed inkjet printers, MIMAKI has launched a new ink compatible with its UJF-7151plus printer, which produces high-quality print in range of applications from gifts and novelty items to wide-format boards. Created by mixing a bright pigment into the ink, this newly launched MIMAKI MUH-100-Si ink can place metallic ink directly onto the product without the need for a separate manual transfer process, as is the case when applying glitters or foils to produce a metallic effect.

Decorative options such as printing both gloss and matte tones, texture expression with embossing effect, and full-colour metallic expressions can be achieved in-house by printing coloured ink overlaid on metallic ink. The metallic ink can be used for a wide range of applications, including items such as paper containers, films and novelty items. Broadening the range of its inks MIMAKI is helping its customers to optimize the use of MIMAKI printers and differentiate themselves from competitors.
