UV printing technology has long been associated with premium output quality, but for many wide-format businesses, the barrier to entry has been the cost and complexity of the equipment itself. The Mimaki UJV200-160 is designed to change that.

The UJV200-160 represents Mimaki’s commitment to making professional UV roll-to-roll printing more accessible, without compromising on the image quality, media versatility and workflow efficiency that today’s print businesses demand.

What Is the Mimaki UJV200-160?

The UJV200-160 is a UV roll-to-roll inkjet printer and the latest addition to Mimaki’s widely adopted 200 Series.  A platform that has earned strong recognition in the sign graphics market since its launch in 2024 for delivering high-quality output through simple, intuitive operation.

Where the 200 Series established itself with solvent ink technology, the UJV200-160 expands those capabilities into the UV space, bringing instant curing, broader substrate compatibility and multi-layer printing to businesses operating at a wide range of experience levels. Available in a 1,600mm format, the UJV200-160 is built for sign shops, retail graphics providers and commercial printers with an appetite for high-value, versatile UV production.

Key Features and Capabilities

Print Engine Derived from the 330 Series

The UJV200-160 is powered by a print engine derived from Mimaki’s flagship 330 Series, the same platform that underpins the UJ330H-160. This lineage translates directly into output quality: smooth gradients, sharp text rendering and uniform solid colours with minimal graininess. For wide-format applications such as retail graphics, wayfinding signage and technical displays – where precision and visual consistency are non-negotiable – this is a meaningful advantage.

Instant UV Curing for Faster Turnaround

UV ink cures immediately upon exposure to UV light, which means printed output can be handled, finished and installed directly off the printer, with no drying time, no waiting.

Low-temperature UV curing also expands the range of compatible substrates to include heat-sensitive materials, giving print businesses the ability to work across a broader range of media without equipment risk.

White and Clear Ink with Three-Layer Printing

The UJV200-160 supports up to three layers of printing through the inclusion of White and Clear inks alongside standard CMYK. This unlocks a range of high-value applications that combine design impact with functional print requirements, including window graphics, backlit displays, double-sided signage, stickers and decorative labels.

For businesses looking to move into premium UV print applications without a steep operational learning curve, the three-layer capability of the UJV200-160 is a compelling entry point.

Automatic Dot Adjustment System (DAS2)

One of the UJV200-160’s most practical operational features is its enhanced Dot Adjustment System DAS2. This system automatically adjusts image quality settings without operator intervention, working effectively across both transparent and coloured substrates. The result is consistent, high-quality output regardless of operator experience level, with significantly reduced setup time and media consumption.

For businesses with mixed-experience production teams or those transitioning into UV printing for the first time, DAS2 reduces the risk of costly errors and helps maintain quality standards across every job.

ID Cut Compatibility for Print-and-Cut Workflows

The UJV200-160 is fully compatible with Mimaki’s range of cutting plotters, supporting automated print-and-cut production through ID Cut functionality. For businesses producing stickers, labels, decals and contour-cut display graphics, this integration streamlines the path from print to finished product and reduces manual handling.

Sustainable and Operator-Safe Ink Chemistry

The UJV200-160 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 UJV200-160 represents a more sustainable production choice for print businesses with environmental and workplace safety commitments.
