In the printing process of JV400-SUV, the solvent component is absorbed by the ink-receiving layer of the media and the pigment is settled on to the media. The printed ink is then cured with a special UV light process, resulting in a smooth, high gloss appearance, which simulates coating, yet maintains the bright colors expected of a solvent printer.
Mimaki announces its introduction of JV400-SUV at FESPA 2013 to be held from 25-29 June in London. JV400-SUV printer was first shown at FESPA 2012 as a prototype. The marketplace has been very enthusiastic about the possibilities of Solvent UV curing since the introduction of this concept. The JV400-130/160SUV prints in four colors (CMYK) at speeds of up to 18 square meters per hour in draft mode. This truly unique printer combines the flexibility of solvent with the durability of UV-cured inks using innovative Mimaki inks developed specifically for this printer.
