Newly launched UJV55-320 printer generates strong show sales
Amsterdam, March 29, 2016
Mimaki looks back at a successful FESPA. In the first two days of the show, the company reports sales of 30 of its 3.2m wide UJV55-320 printers, launched at the show. In addition, a 180m2/h TS500P-3200 sublimation transfer printer was sold within the first 15 minutes of the show doors opening.
The 110m2/h UJV55-320 features a unique backlit preview lighting system that allows operators to more closely examine output as it is being printed. It is available with four or seven newly developed LUS-120 high performance UV curable inks including white. It delivers the versatility of twin-roll simultaneous printing together with high quality super wide output for volume production of banners, retail and exhibition signage, window graphics and other similar applications.
Horsten adds, “The UJV55-320 builds on Mimaki’s significant heritage in high quality graphics printing to offer an ideal solution for production of the large format backlit graphics that are frequently found in airports and other public places. It complements existing technologies within the Mimaki product line and delivers an affordable solution for companies looking to enter this growing and profitable market.”
Generating almost as much on-stand interest as the UJV55-320 were the car wrap demonstrations on an Audi A1 Sportback,
Horsten concludes: “Our 350m2 booth attracted many visitors who were eager to learn more about our printers and cutting solutions and to discover how Mimaki Europe can support them in both existing and emerging business opportunities. FESPA always attracts great attendees from around the world who are passionate about wide format digital printing and are keen to discover the latest industry innovations. The buzz in this sector of the graphic arts market continues unabated as more operations dip their toes in this growth market or expand their capabilities to continue on a growth path. The UJV55-320 has found a sweet spot in the hearts and minds of sign & display graphics professionals, and we look forward to helping more operations extend their wide format portfolio of services with this and other well-known Mimaki solutions.”
