Unlike conventional models, the print table moves the substrate under the staggered printheads, using Mimaki’s exclusive ball screw technology to reduce vibration and increasing ink drop accuracy.

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.

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.

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

A UV-LED curing system controls lamp power and curing time for higher quality results. When using clear ink for a topcoat, the additional control delivers near-flawless glossy results by preventing dust adhesion and air bubble formation.

Three types of ink will be available from ‘hard’ inks that are chemical and abrasion resistant; to inks flexible enough for use in banner applications and vehicle wraps; to compliant yet stable inks for thermoforming applications. In addition to the standard CMYK color set, White and Clear inks, plus jettable Primer, will be available.

Six print heads in a staggered configuration enable higher productivity. Print speeds on the UJF-7151 printer are up to 45.31 more than 1.6 times faster than the UJF-6042 printer, and more than 2.5 times faster than competitive printers in its class.

This model can print on media up to 28” x 20” – a familiar format size in the screen printing industry – and on materials up to 6” thick. Mimaki’s Kebab option can print on cylindrical objects, such as bottles and cans.

A revolutionary ink head ink circulation system for all colors reduces ink precipitation (settling) and removes air bubbles that can cause clogged nozzles. The result is more stable printing, fewer cleanings and more cost-effective ink utilization. A gap check sensor detects transparent media to prevent head contact. The Mimaki Bulk Ink System (MBIS) with one liter ink bottles enable longer runs.
