MIMAKI recently hosted its UV Academy in Dallas. Originally developed last year to debut the company’s JFX large flatbed products, the academy quickly expanded to include its smaller flatbed applications and now features all of the manufacturer’s UV products. It’s educational event for existing customers as well as those interested in getting into the printing business, whether it be wide-format, smaller applications, or textile and apparel processes. Classes on maintenance, processing applications, business development, potential products to sell, etc., are offered. Customers also are invited to ‘test drive’ the vast array of equipment designed to accommodate numerous types of printing.
New and exciting this year is the company’s new JFX200-1213 EX, which is a medium-format, UV-LED flatbed printer engineered for-small to-medium volume production. This means it offers wide-format printing capabilities in a compact footprint. It meets the needs of print service providers and in-house print shops with limited space, delivering high-quality outputs across various applications, including textured surfaces, ADA-compliant signage, and jig workflows.
