• The hybrid solution combines roll and rigid printing in one compact, cost-efficient system for print service providers looking to diversify applications.
• As a new addition to the 330 Series, the UJ330H-160 offers high image quality with enhanced media versatility and stability for sign graphic production.
Mimaki Europe, a leading manufacturer of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, announces the launch of the UJ330H-160, a new hybrid UV inkjet printer designed to help sign makers and print service providers expand their print capabilities within a small footprint. As part of Mimaki’s renowned 330 Series, the UJ330H-160 brings the series’ advanced image quality and productivity into a versatile hybrid configuration. Developed in response to growing market demand across EMEA for flexible, investment-conscious production environments, the system enables seamless switching between roll media and rigid substrates in one platform.
Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe, comments, “In today’s printing industry, companies need to be more agile than ever. They are expected to deliver diverse applications with fast turnaround times and uncompromising quality, often within limited production space. With the UJ330H-160, we provide a hybrid UV printing solution that enables customers to do more with one system, without sacrificing performance.”
The newly developed conveyor belt transport system ensures stable feeding of various roll materials without wrinkling or sagging, including previously challenging substrates such as thin window films, fabric, and synthetic leather. For rigid materials, the integrated vacuum functionality and lock roller units enable reliable handling of large and thick media up to 50.8 mm, including aluminium composite panels and foam boards. Mimaki’s UV inks deliver strong adhesion and excellent scratch resistance on these demanding substrates, helping businesses produce a wider array of applications in-house and reduce outsourcing. Low-temperature UV curing technology further expands substrate compatibility, including heat-sensitive materials.
Powered by Mimaki’s 330 print engine, the UJ330H-160 delivers high-definition output with smooth gradients, uniform solid fills and high-density white for impactful backlit and window graphics. Clear ink expands creative possibilities further, enabling gloss and matte finishes as well as textured and embossed effects.
Thanks to UV-LED curing technology, the system requires no warm-up time and is ready to print immediately, supporting faster job changeovers and consistent productivity. With practical production speeds of up to 14.0 m² per hour when configured with white ink and up to 22 m² per hour when configured with 2x CMYK, the system balances premium image quality with reliable commercial productivity.
Ease of operation is central to the machine, with automation features including the automatic adjustment function which helps maintain optimal print conditions without requiring specialist expertise, ensuring consistent output. Combined with RasterLink7 RIP software for advanced UV effects and the PICT cloud-based monitoring tool for real-time production visibility, the UJ330H-160 supports more efficient and controlled workflows.
“The UJ330H-160 represents the next step in our UV strategy,” Arjen Evertse adds. “It combines versatility, stability and advanced UV printing capabilities at a competitive price point of under €40,000, helping customers future-proof their business in an evolving sign graphics market.”
Reflecting Mimaki’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, its eco-friendly ELS-170 UV inks are SVHC- and CMR-free, contributing to safer working environments and supporting compliance with evolving European regulations.
The UJ330H-160 will be available from April 2026 and will be showcased at major industry exhibitions across Europe, including FESPA Global Print Expo 2026. A full overview of additional launch events across EMEA can be found here.
