One of the newest developments is Mimaki Europe's announcement of three new UV flatbed printers: the large-format JFX220-2515 and the UJF200 Series, including the UJF200-3042 and UJF200-6042.
The key direction is not simply higher printing speed. Mimaki is emphasizing automation, simplified operation, workflow management and reduced downtime. The machines use the new RasterLink8 RIP/workflow platform with automated alignment and job-management functions.
What this means for the market: European buyers are increasingly looking for UV printers that can be operated efficiently with less dependence on highly skilled operators.
