Mimaki UV Ink LUS-120 Yellow 1 Liter Bottle

Environmental advantages: low-VOC ink and ozone-free LED–UV light The color components of the ink are directly cured and adhered to the media or substrate by UV radiation, and the ink emits very low levels of VOC (volatile organic carbon). The LED (light-emitting diode) light does not radiate short wavelengths that generate ozone. Use of Mimaki UV-curable ink demonstrates consciousness about the environment and the health of users. Mechanism of UV- curable ink adhesion: Mimaki released LED–UV-curable inks ahead of other global competitors Mimaki first adopted the use of LED light to solve all the problems associated with metal halide lamps, such as long warm-up or restrike times, high power consumption, large bulbs, short lamp life, and high temperatures. The LED–UV ink curing system not only provides high quality printing with speed but also meets various demands from users with high media compatibility. Energy saving and long life: The power consumption and heat generation of LED lights are remarkably lower than those of metal halide lamps. In addition to energy and cost saving, the long-life LED light reduces lamp wastage because of replacements. High media compatibility with low heat generation: Thanks to the low heat generation of LED–UV light, Mimaki UV ink is capable of printing vibrant and beautiful colors on heat-sensitive materials, such as acrylic board, PVC, PET, etc. High-Speed Printing: High-speed printing at 60 m2/h with vibrant and fine print results is achieved. We have been developing inks and printers for years, and hence have been able to focus our technologies for obtaining the best results from both. Mimaki’s unique head control technology delivers smooth gradation printing: Smooth and beautiful gradation printing is available due to the excellent color reproducibility of the inks as well as by the use of Mimaki’s inkjet technology. White ink is used as the base layer for color printing. The white base layer enhances color printing on transparent media. Color printing without white ink base layer Because of the high light transmittance of the media, printed colors are not very vivid. White ink base layer with color printing displays bright and more accurate colors by efectively blocking out the substrate color and establishing a high white point. Embossed printing is also available by combining the use of a primer with color inks. The UV ink broadens the range of possible print designs.
