The JFX600-2531 and CFX-2531 form a comprehensive UV print-and-cut solution to increase application possibilities for print service providers.
The flatbed UV printer, JFX600-2531, responds to market demand for a larger print size, following the positive reception of the JFX600-2513 launched in 2021. Offering the same high levels of productivity and maximum resolution of 1200dpi, the increased print-bed size of 3.1m in length opens up new possibilities for printers, particularly in architectural applications.
Due to the expanded print bed, the JFX600-2531 is able to print directly on commonly used architectural substrates, such as glass and plywood, which have a standard size of 3000mm. Printing on these substrates commonly involve applying a printed film onto the surface, so direct printing allows for the original surface texture of the substrate to remain, excluding the design area.
Another feature carried over from the previous model is the 2.5D printing function, which creates texture to the surface of the print for added customisability and value.
To streamline production further, Mimaki has optimised the ‘Toggle Print Function’ exclusively for the JFX600-2531, which allows for simultaneous printing at the front and rear of the print table. Print operators can now set the print origin at two locations, meaning that manual processes, like replacing, fixing and cleaning the surface of a substrate, can take place while the printer continues to print on the other side. This works in conjunction with Mimaki’s core technologies to create a seamless workflow, including the nozzle check function (NCU) and nozzle recovery function (NRS) to reduce downtime caused by missing or faulty nozzles.
Expanding Mimaki’s cutting plotter portfolio, the CFX-2531 is a high-end cutting solution which operates with increased speed and efficiency. As a large-size cutting plotter (3190mm x 2540mm) the CFX-2531 can continuously or alternately operate at the front and rear of the table. Offering an ideal solution for various sign graphics applications, the CFX-2531 can handle prints and materials such as stickers and signboards, as well as paper containers and corrugated boards. Improved accuracy, with the inclusion of a table plane tracking function, helps to ensure minimal material is wasted and is critical when it comes to V-cuts. In addition, the cutting plotter can be equipped with up to four types of tools at once to reduce time required for tool changing and adjustment.
The CFX-2531 is part of Mimaki’s brand-new CFX Series, which also includes additional two models: the CFX-2513 and the CFX-2550, with a print table of 1300mm x 2540mm and 5080mm x 2540mm respectively. This series is designed for those companies looking to grow their offering, due to the ability to expand the size even after the CFX is installed.
Exclusive African Mimaki distributor, Graphix Supply World (GSW), showcased the new JFX200-2513 EX for the first time in Durban at the Sign Africa Expo, which was held from 13-14 March at the Durban ICC.
Arjen Evertse, General Manager Sales, Mimaki Europe, explained, ‘As a pioneer in UV technology, we are pleased to announce a high-quality, high-performing UV printing solution to add to our extensive portfolio, which will serve to further expand upon applications for print service providers. We understand how important substrate versatility is for printers, especially when expanding to new applications, so we created both products in response to market demand.’
