Mimaki will showcase its first UV-DTF (UV curable, direct-to-film) printer, the UJV300DTF-75, at the Fespa 2025, which runs from 6-9 May in Berlin, Germany.
The UJV300DTF-75 combines Mimaki’s expertise in UV printing with its DTF (direct-to-film) textile printing capabilities. The company said the printer is designed for customisable, high-quality prints – ideal for decorating items of various shapes and sizes, including those with curved or uneven surfaces. The printer uses a transfer printing method, where designs are printed onto a glued film, then transferred to the object, reducing the risk of misprinting and expanding creative possibilities.
Equipped with proprietary silicon film pinch rollers, the UJV300DTF-75 ensures stability during printing, preventing film peeling or glue removal. It also features Mimaki’s core technologies, such as automatic nozzle checks, nozzle recovery, ink circulation, and anti-collision sensors, providing reliable performance with minimal user intervention.
Arjen Evertse, director sales at Mimaki Europe, commented: “With the UJV300DTF-75, we have also leveraged our expertise in UV printing to deliver a reliable solution for object decoration, enabling high-quality, durable prints on surfaces that were previously unsuitable for direct UV printing.”
In addition to the UJV300DTF-75, Mimaki will introduce its next-generation UV inks, ELS-170 and ELH-100, which are GreenGuard Gold certified and EU Reach-compliant, offering durability and flexibility for various applications.
