SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 13, 2024 – Mimaki, a pioneer in the digital printing industry, is leading the charge towards a more sustainable and efficient future with its innovative UV-LED printing solutions. Leveraging over two decades of expertise in UV technology, Mimaki is empowering businesses across various sectors to achieve superior print quality, versatility, and environmental responsibility.
Unmatched Print Quality and Versatility:
Mimaki's UV-LED printers deliver exceptional image quality with the ability to create stunning visual effects. Layered printing functions enable the addition of gloss, matte, or textured finishes, resulting in prints with a captivating, almost 3D-like appearance. The instant drying characteristic of UV inks eliminates concerns about smudging or color bleeding, ensuring flawless results on a wide variety of substrates, including traditionally challenging materials such as glass, metal, and wood.
"UV-LED printing technology not only elevates design possibilities but also expands the range of printable substrates, opening doors to new creative applications and revenue streams," stated Marc Verbeem, Supervisor Product Management at Mimaki Europe.
The ability to print on diverse materials is a significant advantage for industries like luxury packaging, where customization and unique designs are paramount. Additionally, the superior durability of UV inks, resistant to scratches, fading, and abrasion, makes them ideal for outdoor applications, ensuring long-lasting and vibrant prints.
Sustainability as a Core Principle:
Mimaki recognizes the increasing importance of sustainability in the printing industry and is committed to providing solutions that minimize environmental impact. UV-LED technology represents a significant step forward in eco-conscious printing, offering significant reductions in energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation.
"The printing industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards sustainability," remarked Verbeem. "Mimaki's UV-LED technology addresses this growing need by enabling businesses to achieve superior print quality while minimizing their environmental footprint."
The absence of curing heaters and the use of waterless inks significantly reduce energy consumption and water waste. Furthermore, the extended lifespan of Piezo electric print heads translates to less frequent replacements and a considerable reduction in waste compared to traditional thermal print heads.
Driving Profitability and Environmental Responsibility:
Mimaki's UV-LED printing solutions offer a compelling value proposition for businesses across various sectors. By combining unmatched print quality, versatility, and environmental consciousness, Mimaki empowers its customers to enhance their productivity, expand their creative capabilities, and align with the growing demand for sustainable business practices.
"Mimaki is dedicated to empowering businesses to achieve both their commercial and sustainability goals," added Verbeem. "Our UV-LED technology provides a reliable and efficient solution for creating high-quality prints while minimizing environmental impact."
As the printing industry continues its evolution towards a greener future, Mimaki remains at the forefront, providing innovative technologies that enable businesses to thrive while contributing to a more sustainable planet.
