The UJF-3042 MkII EX printer combine higher accuracy dot placement with speed improvements of up to 20 percent over the previous generation. A fully enclosed print area reduces airborne contaminants, reducing re-prints and ensuring production stays on track. These models also enable placement in more demanding environments, such as a production floor.

Production on a UJF-3042 MkII EX printer is made more efficient with an automated hot folder-based workflow. Users can take advantage of features in RasterLink6 RIP software, such as the ability to build a template and auto-populate the data using Variable Data with the Adobe InDesign Data Merge function or third party VDP plug-ins, to create a table’s-worth of personalized items.

Ball screw table movement paired with precise ink drop placement results in precise image quality. The UJF print table uses threaded registration screws for repeatable media or jig placement. Combined, these features ensure consistent accuracy for maximum production and minimal waste. A vacuum table ensures better fixation of challenging materials.

Variable drop printing combined with Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS) technology ensures precise and accurate print quality throughout the printing process, greatly reducing the appearance of banding and resulting in a smoother image.

Waveform control jets each ink droplet at an optimum angle to maintain ink droplet formation and shape.

The Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) automatically detects and recovers clogged nozzles. If a nozzle cannot be recovered, the Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) selects substitute nozzles and restarts printing. Mimaki Circulation Technology (MCT) continuously circulates the White ink and reduces the need for manual maintenance and waste.

Mimaki’s UV-LED system uses less energy than other UV types, has a longer life and can print into media that could be damaged by higher-heat systems.
