Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 LED UV-DTF Printer
Professional 25.2-inch UV Direct-to-Film (UV-DTF) printer engineered for producing vibrant, high-resolution, durable transfers for curved, uneven, and hard-to-print surfaces. Featuring advanced UV-LED curing technology, automated inline lamination, specialized film handling, and six-color printing with white and clear inks, the Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 delivers exceptional print quality, production reliability, and versatility for custom product decoration.
Characteristics
The Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 LED UV-DTF Printer is a professional roll-to-roll UV Direct-to-Film printing system designed to expand the possibilities of custom product decoration. As Mimaki's first purpose-built UV-DTF printer, the UJV300DTF-75 allows businesses to create high-quality, full-color transfers that can be applied to curved, irregular, and textured surfaces that are difficult to decorate using traditional direct UV printing methods.
Unlike conventional UV printers that print directly onto an object, the UJV300DTF-75 prints designs onto specialized adhesive transfer film using UV-curable inks. The printed graphics are laminated with a transfer sheet and can then be applied to compatible surfaces without requiring direct printing onto the finished product. This process helps reduce production errors, material waste, and the need for specialized fixtures.
Equipped with Mimaki's advanced UV-LED printing technology, the UJV300DTF-75 produces detailed graphics, smooth gradients, sharp text, and vibrant colors at resolutions up to 1200 dpi. Its six-color ink configuration combines flexible ELS-170 CMYK inks with durable ELH-100 White and Clear inks, delivering excellent color reproduction and a balance of flexibility and durability.
The printer incorporates specialized UV-DTF pinch rollers, an automated film handling system, and integrated lamination capabilities to simplify production. Mimaki's advanced nozzle monitoring, recovery, and white ink circulation technologies further enhance printing consistency while minimizing maintenance requirements and downtime.
Ideal for promotional product manufacturers, sign shops, commercial printers, and custom merchandise businesses, the Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 provides an efficient solution for producing premium decorative transfers for drinkware, electronics, packaging, promotional items, and other personalized products.
