The UCJV300-160 Mimaki is the top-of-the-line model in its UCJV300 series of printers, capable of achieving print speeds of 195.9 square feet or 25.8 square meters per hour. If you're running a print shop, this is a vital print capability when customers request a massive wallpaper, or you're designing a shoji sliding paper door. It will all be a breeze with UCJV300-160 UV-cure inks and its cutter.

It is a high-spec model with 4-color mode printing that will convert a high-definition image into four-color combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, black, or CMYK. You can see how these four layers print even on ID-cut images.

CMYK printing, the gold standard in eco-solvent printers for years, helps improve print speeds, and all UV printers have it. The lowest-end model of the UCJV300 UV series has the CMYK 4 layers print function, and the colors come out magnificently no matter what post-processing and sign applying method you use.

Instead of sitting there and watching multiple layers print one by one, the 160's four layers print function will improve the work efficiency of your print shop and cut your production time down to one-fourth. The four layers print method, variations of droplet size on nozzles, and the CMYK color space invention are three of the most significant innovations in the world of UV-LED print shops.

The Mimaki UCJV300-160 is a top-of-the-line printer that will take your business to new heights. It's time to invest in a machine that will give you the print speed, color quality, and production efficiency you need to stay ahead of the competition.

UCJV300 7-Color Printing vs. an Inkjet Printer

The 160 also features a 7-color combination printing mode that improves versatility and color accuracy. You can pick any seven colors and use them as a process set, which gives you more control over ink type, opacity, lithographic appearance, and substrate layering. Your technicians might require additional training to use this feature if you run a printing business. Many technicians currently only pick three extra colors in one ink type to throw behind CMYK tints, a standard practice in the days of inkjet printers.

UCJV300 Ink Certifications

The 160 uses Mimaki's proprietary UV ink LUS-200 and LUS-175. With the lower-cost UV ink LUS 170, the three of them hold GREENGUARD Gold certifications from UL LLC, an OSHA-partnered third-party testing and certification company.

Inks like the LUS-170 and LUS-200 certification have a unique UV ink property that produces minimal indoor pollution and no side effects for technicians, even in day-night printing sessions. A GREENGUARD certificate, UL mark, and CB report are essential when using UV printers as volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs, might fuse into the air from ink substrates that evaporate under solid lamps. You can buy a lot of UV-curable inks that are cheaper than the LUS-170 and LUS-175, but you might have to pay more for your workers' healthcare coverage down the line.

The Mimaki LU, LH, and LUS lines have a unique UV ink property that matches the staying power and vibrancy of non-UV-curable printer inks and surpasses it. They have excellent adhesion and endurance on non-absorbent materials like metal, plastic, and glass, making them readily available for industrial and architectural graphic applications.

A UV-curable ink like the LUS-170 is decidedly low-VOC, meaning it won't smell as much as the old ink types before the days of regulations when technicians could only work outside due to UV ink being so toxic.
