The release of Mimaki’s MUH-100-Si metallic ink for the UJF-7151Plus brings a strong competitive edge to Mimaki customers, allowing them to provide added value to the brands who use their services. The world’s first metallic UV ink is created by mixing a bright pigment into the ink, MUH-100-Si can place metallic ink directly onto the product without the need for a separate manual transfer process, as is the case when applying glitters or foils to produce a metallic effect. Decorative options such as printing both gloss and matte tones, texture expression with embossing effect, and full-colour metallic expressions can be achieved by printing coloured ink overlaid on metallic ink.
