Mimaki’s JV400SUV bags LFP category award at Viscom

The Mimaki JV400SUV was on display at the Viscom show for the first time in Germany and almost immediately won the award in the Large Format Printing/LFP category. The new machine operates with a new generation of inks, which Mimaki has developed. The ink, they say combines the flexibility of solvent-based inks with the durability of UV curing inks.

During the printing process, the solvent in the ink is absorbed by the receiving layer of the media and the pigment is thus anchored in the substrate. The UV unit cures the printed ink, which provides the completed print with a smooth and shiny surface. The prints are very scratch resistant, weatherproof and immediately dry. In addition, the inks retain their intensity. The JV400-130/160SUV model achieves a print speed of up to 18 sq m/hour.
