MIMAKI UV flatbed & plotter elevate sign & architectural applications

MIMAKI’s newly launched UV print-and-cut solution, consisting of the large format flatbed UV printer, JFX600-2531 and its flatbed cutting plotter CFX-2531 respond to market demand for a larger print size in sign & architectural applications. Offering the same high levels of productivity and maximum resolution of 1200dpi, the increased print-bed size of 3.1m in length opens up new possibilities for printers, particularly in architectural applications. Due to the expanded print-bed, the JFX600-2531 is able to print directly on commonly used architectural substrates, such as glass and plywood, which have a standard size of 3,000mm.

To streamline production further, MIMAKI has optimised the ‘Toggle Print Function’ for the JFX600-2531, which allows for simultaneous printing at the front and rear of the print table. Print operators can now set the print origin at two locations, meaning that manual processes, like replacing, fixing and cleaning the surface of a substrate, can take place while the printer continues to print on the other side. This works in conjunction with MIMAKI’s core technologies to create a seamless workflow, including the NCU (nozzle check function) and NRS (nozzle recovery function) to reduce downtime caused by missing or faulty nozzles.
