Mimaki Europe, a manufacturer of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, has announced the launch of the UJV200 (UJV200-160 and UJV200-130), a new UV roll-to-roll printer that will be showcased in EMEA for the first time at Fespa Global Print Expo 2026 in Barcelona (Hall 3, Stand D95).
Building on the success of Mimaki’s widely adopted 200 Series, the UJV200 has been developed to make high-quality UV printing more accessible, while enabling print service providers to expand into a broader range of applications.
Mimaki’s UISS automatically switches to the next available cartridge when one becomes empty, maintaining stable ink flow and uninterrupted output. Operators can also replace depleted cartridges during printing without halting production, helping to maximise uptime and workflow efficiency.
“With the UJV200, we are bringing together three key elements our customers are looking for today: consistent high image quality, ease of use and the flexibility of UV printing,” comments Arjen Evertse, director sales, Mimaki Europe. “This combination allows print service providers to expand into new applications, work across a wider range of media and respond faster and confidently to customer demands, without adding complexity to their operations.”
Efficient printing for bold applications
Powered by a market-proven print engine derived from Mimaki’s flagship 330 Series, the UJV200 Series delivers smooth gradients, sharp text and uniform solid colors with minimal graininess. This ensures consistent, high-quality results across applications where precision and visual clarity are essential, such as retail graphics, wayfinding signage and technical displays.
For optimal ease of use, the printer features an enhanced Dot Adjustment System (DAS2), enabling automatic image quality adjustment with significantly reduced setup time and media consumption. The system operates effectively across transparent and colored media, ensuring consistent output quality, regardless of operator experience and helping to streamline production processes.
Leveraging UV technology, the UJV200 utilizes instant ink curing, allowing prints to be handled, finished and installed immediately after production. This supports faster turnaround times helping print service providers to respond quickly to time-sensitive jobs. In addition, the low-temperature curing process allows printing on a wide variety of substrates, including heat-sensitive materials, further expanding application possibilities. The UV curing process also leads to more energy efficient production by eliminating the need for pre- and post-heating required by heat-based technologies, while Mimaki’s ELS-170 UV inks are formulated without SVHC and CMR substances.
The inclusion of white and clear inks supports up to three-layer printing, ideal for applications that deliver visual impact within a functional design. From window graphics and backlit displays to labels and decorative elements, the UJV200 allows users to explore new creative opportunities and deliver higher-value output.
Arjen Evertse added, “Our focus is not only on performance, but on enabling our customers to grow. The UJV200 has been designed to support both established print businesses and those looking to expand into UV, offering a reliable and flexible solution that adapts to different production environments.”
The UJV200-160 and UJV200-130 will be available from April 2026 and are compatible with Mimaki’s cutting plotter series, enabling automated print-and-cut production with ID Cut functionality.
