Mimaki UJF-8366, a new UV LED curing CTP and film setter at IPEX 2010

Mimaki Engineering Co Ltd is showcasing its latest innovation for CtP and film generation, UJF-8366, at IPEX 2010 to be held from May 18 to May 25 in Birmingham. This new machine utilises UV LED curing inkjet technology for production of CtP plates and films for screen printing. It features a maximum resolution of 2400×2400 dpi, enabling a line screen of 175 lpi on metal plates and films.
 
UJF-8366 enables processless plate and film production, thus costs for processors that are used in conventional CtP systems are eliminated. The flatbed mechanism of the machine is supported by several new technological developments for highly accurate dot placement and very fine dots at a maximum of 175 lpi with AM screens on aluminum plates and film. And its UV LED curing does not generate high temperatures thus reducing and/or eliminating thermal deformation of films or plates while imaging.
