HIGHER IMAGE QUALITY THAN EVER BEFORE
Increased ink dot placement accuracy for better image quality
The UJF-6042 adopted a unique ball screw type head conveyance mechanism heretofore available only in high-end flatbed printers. This improves the accuracy of the ink drop placement, which in turn prevents bandings.
Variable drops function for smooth and beautiful gradation
Variable drops function provides 3 different drop sizes at once, with a minimum drop size of 4 picoliter. This produces smooth gradation patterns and brilliant transitions of many colour layers even in the 4-color mode.
USEFUL FUNCTIONS TO ENSURE PRINT QUALITY
- Mimaki Circulation Technology (MCT)
Mimaki Circulation Technology (MCT) is a newly developed white ink circulation system that prevents pigment sedimentation and reduces ink waste.
- Nozzle Recovery Function temporarily restores print quality, reducing potential downtime if maintenance issues should arise.
AUTOMATIC PRIMER APPLICATION FUNCTION
The UJF-6042 incorporates an automatic primer feature, simplifying pre-priming process, which is traditionally done manually by wiping or spraying. Mimaki’s inkjet primer cartridge is simply inserted into the corresponding ink slot of UJF-6042, enabling the primer to specifically target the print image area only.
*Always test your intended materials before using primer. When printing with primer and white / clear ink, production speed is reduced to some extent.
THREE TYPES OF UV CURABLE INK
Three types of UV ink are available to achieve the best print results on a wide range of applications. In addition, eight ink slots enable various ink configurations, such as 6 colors plus white and clear. Furthermore, by printing different layers of ink and/or gloss, your images will not only look more enticing but also will have a raised / embossed quality that will satisfy your customers.
SPECIAL FINISHES TO PROVIDE ADDED VALUE TO YOUR PRINTS
- 3D Lenticular achieved by high definition print
The UJF-6042 can discharge minimum 4 pl ink dots in 1,800 × 1,800 dpi, enabling lenticular printing by 3D lens of 100 lpi which has previously been difficult for existing digital printers to achieve.* lpi = line per inch
* For 3D lenticular printing, dedicated software for data creation and 3D lens are required separately.
- Unique textures on metals achieved through etching process
Etching is a surface treatment which utilises the corrosive action of metal, through chemicals. The area which should not be corroded is covered with a mask of UV ink. Then the substrate is immersed into the corrosion solution to be corroded. With such treatment, you can achieve high quality textures, and permanent engraving.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY
Eco-cartridges, which can be repeatedly used by changing spent ink packs, contribute to waste reduction and less ink cost- UV LEDs have longer life and consume less energy than conventional UV lamps
- Less transfer waste and no wasted inventory by printing on-demand, direct-to-substrate
- No noticeable odour and no excessive noise
RASTERLINK 6 ADVANCED RIP AS STANDARD
Sophisticated new software offers user friendly and intuitive operation with features such as colour replacement.
