Hybrid Services, the exclusive distributor of Mimaki in the UK and Ireland, has revealed it will demonstrate a range of new print technology from Mimaki on its stand at The Print Show 2022.

Hybrid Services, the exclusive distributor of Mimaki in the UK and Ireland, has revealed it will use its presence at The Print Show 2022 to demonstrate the very latest printing and cutting solutions from Mimaki.

We recently announced the latest from a 20 year-long heritage of producing industry leading solvent printers, the new 330 Series from Mimaki, which includes two notable machines: the JV330-160 solvent printer and the CJV330 solvent printer/cutter.

Mimaki has, over the decades, released an extensive array of products, across multiple sectors and all using various technologies. What many may not know is that the product names alone tell a great deal about each printer or cutter, through a series of letters and numbers.

Mimaki today announces the launch of its brand-new pure clear material for 3D printing, called MH-110PCL. Created with designers in mind, this new clear material is intended for use with Mimaki’s flagship UV curable, full colour 3D printer, the 3DUJ-553. Available from May 2022, the release of this clear material aligns with Mimaki’s objective to be at the forefront of innovation in the industry, and wholly boost customer satisfaction.

Mimaki Europe will showcase its latest innovative technologies, and connect with customers at FESPA 2022 Global Printing Expo (May 31st – June 3rd Berlin, Germany, Hall 1.2 Stand 1.2-A30). Following the success of FESPA 2021, the first major European tradeshow for Mimaki post-COVID-19, Mimaki will return as a gold sponsor for this landmark industry event. With a host of new solutions released this year, FESPA 2022 will be the first opportunity for Mimaki to demonstrate these printers and cutters at an international event and further explain the many benefits they offer sign and textile printing companies.

The new Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 full colour 3D printer will feature on UK and Ireland distributor, Hybrid Services’ stand at the TCT 3Sixty exhibition, to be held at the NEC in June 2022.

All sectors, from automotive to aerospace to printing are entering into a new era coined “Industry 4.0”, representative of a more streamlined approach to production by utilising state of the art technologies to keep up with the increase in demand. The printing industry has focused in on one aspect of Industry 4.0 in particular, “automation”, to better connect printing technology and allow for a more seamless transition from when a customer places an order to its’ delivery. With its clear long-term benefits, this change is already happening in the industry – in Keypoint Intelligence’s Software Investment Outlook 2020-21, researchers found that more companies were investing in automation in these past two years, particularly to fulfil the large amount of smaller jobs^[1].

The Mimaki cutting plotter that’s in regular use at Sign & Design (Somerset) Ltd still looks as good as the day the company bought it, according to owner, Paul Dinsdale. Considering that date was in the late 1990s and the cutter is used almost daily, that’s some claim!

Exclusive Mimaki distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd will give the new Mimaki JFX600-2513 LED-UV large-format flatbed inkjet printer its UK and Ireland debut at Sign & Digital UK later this month. Designed to address the high-volume UV market, the JFX600 will be among the raft of new Mimaki solutions to be shown for the first time at the exhibition in Birmingham. Engineered for high speeds and high productivity, the new flatbed offers print service providers a broader variety of applications thanks to a wider range of ink types and increased media flexibility.
