Color Flatbed Printer - UV Cured Technology
High Gloss with Eye Catching Results!
We are proud of Foto Print's growing printing capabilities with the purchase of Mimaki flatbed UV printer. It has the ability to print directly onto rigid or flexible material in high resolution using CMYK full colour, opaque white and clear UV spot or flood gloss. The UV printing technology produces no volatile organic compound and uses new cold led UV lighting technology. The 8’ x 4’ flatbed can print onto media that is up to 1.9” thick. The expansive list of substrates that can be used include PVC, Polyester, Foam Core, Wood, Metal, for custom signs for exhibitions, backlit graphics, promotional items, 3D effect printing, and trade show displays. The uv printing process creates colors using CKYM, white and gloss UV.
Mimaki is equipped with all the necessary performance, product quality, ease of use, and environmental friendliness required of a flatbed printer.
Featuring its ability to print onto media up to 50 mm (1.97 in.) thick and on irregularly-shaped media with high weather and friction resistance, the Mimaki produces unparalleled results all in high definition, and works to expand customer business by accommodating a wide variety of needs and requirements.
The following "rigid" substrates are kept in inventory for quick turnaround. Because each have different properties, a discussion is recommended in order to determine the best substrate for the application:
- 'ConVert' corrugated rigid enviroboard 3mm, paper based, 100% recyclable & 10% post consumer waste, indoor. ** Our most enviro friendly choice **
- 'Foam-Cor' foamboard, paper-based 5mm, 100% biodegradable core, recyclable, indoor, warp resistant, lightweight. Screw-in hangers available.
- 'Foam-Cor' foamboard, plastic-based 5mm, 100% biodegradable, recyclable, indoor/outdoor. High impact, warp resistant, lightweight, washable. Screw-in hangers available.
- 'HIPS' polystyrene (high impact) choice of 3 thicknesses - .5mm, .76mm & 1mm, non recyclable, indoor/outdoor, bendable, rollable, washable.
- 'Komatex' PVC 3mm closed-cell foamboard, recyclable, indoor/outdoor. Unbendable, durable (except can crack if abused, especially in extreme cold), washable.
- 'Coroplast' plastic corrugated 4mm, recyclable, indoor/outdoor. Great for lawn signs. Durable, washable. It is the least expensive of the above but print quality will not be optimum.
- 'Gatorfoam' wood fiber veneer 5mm, indoor. Great for long term signage. Very hard surface. Prints beautifully and will not delaminate or crush.
