Mimaki launches silver ink for JV33 and CJV30 series

Mimaki Engineering Co Ltd announces the company’s new silver ink for its ES3 ink portfolio of eco-solvent inks for JV33 and CJV30 series. Shipment of the new silver ink is expected to commence in October 2010. Metallic effects, such as gold or bronze as well as other color shades, can be achieved by combining Mimaki’s new silver ink with full color ES3 ink, thus realising astounding and eye-catching effects on print products. Silver inks enable print service providers to offer higher value to their customer’s creative projects.

Existing Mimaki’s standard printers such as JV33 and CJV30 are compatible with the new silver ink. Just by switching to ES3 ink and updating the firmware and the RIP software, Mimaki’s silver ink can be used. Users can just choose the appropriate color from the metallic color library in Raster Link Pro5 and print their jobs with silver ink. In addition, Raster Link Pro5 enables output of all shades of metallic colors by calling up the feature chart for silver ink. Users can also devise their own or the appropriate customers’ colors and metallic shades. At the same time as silver ink is released, Mimaki will introduce and begin shipment of its new ES3 white ink.
