Anti-banding system—Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS) 4

Mimaki’s unique MAPS3 anti-banding system has been improved to MAPS4.
Unwanted visible banding on the swath boundaries is reduced by overprinting between swaths with a reduced number of ink droplets.

High quality

New image-processing technique reduces tone jumps and uneven color printing

Mimaki Fine Diffusion 1 (MFD1) has been recently added to the bundled RasterLink6 RIP software. MFD1 reduces the noise that is generated in image data during image processing and enables the production of better print results without tone jumps or uneven colors.

Superior inkjet technology

Mimaki’s superior inkjet technology accurately places the ink droplets without losing their perfect circularity. This ensures that texts, lines, and edges are clearly and sharply printed.

Smooth-gradation printing

Various ink droplet sizes (large, medium, and small) are precisely placed and exhibit nongrainy, smooth, large-format printing. Dark and light color differences are clearly presented, even in high-speed mode, by utilizing the largest 36 pl droplet size.

Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) and Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) ensure stable printing operation

The NCU detects and cleans clogged nozzles automatically. If clogging is not resolved after cleaning, the NRS selects substitute nozzles to continue the printing operation. These functions allow the printer to maintain productivity until a technician arrives.

Excellent performance

Efficient twin-roll simultaneous printing

A different print job can be printed on each roll simultaneously

Taking advantage of the 3,200-mm printing width, two media rolls can be mounted for simultaneous printing. Different print jobs (or the same print job) can be printed on two separate rolls. The user can select the preferred width separately for each roll, within a specified range (210 to 1,524 mm).

Simple media loading

Rolled media can be easily loaded because of a design improvement.
This improvement provides increased safety and reduces the time for preparation.

Advanced media feeding mechanism

Newly designed pinch rollers are used for more accurate media transportation to provide high-quality printing.

LUS-120: Newly developed, high-performance UV curing ink

The newly developed, high-performance LUS-120 UV curing ink possesses superior durability and flexibility. These two opposite properties provide beautiful and durable printing on flexible banner materials that cannot be laminated.

High speed (4-color: C M Y K)

Super-draft mode allows rapid printing at a maximum printing speed of 110 m2/h. High-density print mode is available for front/backlit signage applications.

(The above print speed is the result of printing on 3.2m-wide media.)

Option: Soft-media Transportation Kit (For SIJ-320UV, UJV55-320)

Stable, continuous soft-media printing broadens the scope of work

By attaching the soft-media transportation kit (PN: OPT-J0400) to the SIJ-320UV/UJV55-320 printer, it is possible to print on soft media. This has been difficult until now because of the creases that often form when the media moves through the printer.
The soft-media transportation kit' s stretch roller and tension bar reduce the occurrence of creases and thereby provide stable movement of media. This enables high-quality printing on soft media such as thin tarpaulin, soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyester banners, and curing sheets.
