Mimaki UJ330H-160 hybrid UV-LED inkjet printer

Mimaki’s new hybrid UV-LED printer is designed to switch between roll and rigid output quickly and easily in a single unit without the need for the large space and capital investment usually associated with a dedicated 4' X 8' flatbed device. The product is engineered to handle a wide range of materials and applications in relatively small spaces with minimal operator intervention. To achieve stable output to various roll materials, the printer uses a newly developed belt-transport system designed to provide high stability when outputting rigid materials. The Auto-Vacuum and front and rear lock roller units are engineered to allow stable transport of large and oversized materials, such as 4' X 8' size aluminum composite plates and up to 2" thick rigid boards.
