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].
