For wide-format print businesses, the choice between a flatbed printer and a roll-to-roll system has long been a significant one – each delivering different capabilities, requiring different floor space, and demanding separate capital investment. The Mimaki UJ330H-160 seamlessly switches between the two.

What Is the Mimaki UJ330H-160?

The UJ330H-160 is a hybrid UV-LED inkjet printer that enables businesses to print directly onto both rigid board materials and roll media from a single machine. With a maximum print width of 1,610mm, it is designed for sign makers, commercial printers, and wide-format print businesses that need versatility without the overhead of running two separate production systems.

Built on Mimaki’s 330 series technology, the UJ330H-160 inherits a proven print engine and pairs it with a newly developed belt transport system, a design decision that has practical implications for businesses handling challenging substrates.

Key Features and Capabilities

Hybrid Roll and Rigid Printing

The UJ330H-160 enables seamless switching between roll media and rigid substrates without the need for a dedicated flatbed system. For rigid applications, an integrated vacuum system and lock roller units support materials up to 50.8mm thick – including aluminium composite panels, foam board, acrylic and wood. For roll media, the belt transport system handles thin window films, fabric, synthetic leather and standard vinyl without wrinkling or sagging.

UV-LED Curing Technology

UV-LED curing is at the core of the UJ330H-160’s productivity story. With no warm-up time required, the printer is ready to produce immediately, supporting faster job changeovers and consistent throughput across the working day. Low-temperature curing also expands substrate compatibility to include heat-sensitive materials that would otherwise be at risk of warping under traditional curing methods.

Production Speed

The UJ330H-160 achieves production speeds of up to 22 m²/h when configured with a 2x CMYK ink set, and up to 14 m²/h in a white ink configuration. This balance of speed and image quality makes it a credible production machine for commercial sign and display environments.

White, Clear and Multi-Layer Printing

The UJ330H-160 supports up to five layers of printing and offers flexible ink configurations, including White and Clear. White ink enables vibrant backlit and window graphics. Clear ink opens creative possibilities for gloss and matte finishes, textured effects and embossed treatments.  All of which are highly valued in premium signage applications.

Automation and Ease of Operation

The UJ330H-160 includes Mimaki’s full suite of automation technologies — NCU (Nozzle Check Unit), NRS (Nozzle Recovery System), DAS2 (Dot Adjustment System), MRA (Mimaki Remote Access), and PICT cloud-based monitoring. These tools reduce operator dependency and maintain consistent print quality without requiring specialist technical expertise.

Sustainable and Operator-Safe Ink Chemistry

The UJ330H-160 uses Mimaki’s ELS UV inks, formulated without Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) and without CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or Reprotoxic) substances which also offers 30% reduction in odour. Combined with the energy efficiency of UV-LED curing, which eliminates the need for pre- and post-heating, the UJ330H represents a more sustainable production choice for print businesses with environmental and workplace safety commitments.

Who Is the UJ330H-160 For?

The UJ330H-160 is suited to wide-format print businesses looking to add higher-margin applications inhouse., or those looking to add rigid substrate capability without the floor space and investment of a full flatbed system.

Specifically, it is a strong fit for:

• Sign shops producing a mix of rigid board signage and roll-to-roll display graphics
• Commercial printers expanding into premium UV applications, including backlit, window and floor graphics
• Print businesses looking to bring previously outsourced rigid print work in-house
• Operations with limited floor space seeking maximum production versatility from a single machine
