Mimaki UJV200

Mimaki UJV200-160: High-Quality UV Roll-to-Roll Printing Made Accessible

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.

Mimaki UJ330H-160: The Hybrid UV Printer Built for Wide-Format Print Businesses

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

Where Texture Meets Intent

 

A Shared Philosophy in Every Detail: Bright White Felt x Roam Distillery x TwofromTwo.

In the world of premium spirits, every element tells a story. From the liquid in the bottle to the label in hand, the experience is built on layers of intention.

For Roam Distillery, that intention begins at the source.

 

 

Roaming Spirits are distilled in small batches on a family-owned biodynamic organic farm in Morangup, in Western Australia’s wheatbelt. This untainted landscape, carefully managed through biodynamic farming practices, produces ingredients with a purity and intensity that define the final spirit.

It’s an approach grounded in stewardship and patience. One where flavour is not engineered but grown.

Such a distinctive product demanded a packaging solution that could carry the same depth of story.

 

 

Design That Carries the Narrative

Entrusted with bringing this story to life, TwofromTwo developed a brand identity rooted in clarity and intent.

At the centre of the design is a simple yet powerful gesture. A continuous flowing line connecting each word. It speaks to the journey behind the spirit: the distance travelled, the effort invested, and the connection between land, process, and product.

Applied consistently across labels, stationery, signage and merchandise, this device creates a confident, recognisable system.

The labels themselves are elevated through tactile finishes, printed on a richly textured stock and detailed with raised varnish, reinforcing a premium, hand-crafted feel.

 

 

Selected for this application, Bright White Felt is a material that engages both visually and physically. Its signature undulation creates a surface that invites touch, drawing the consumer into the experience.

But its value extends beyond aesthetics.

Manufactured by Wausau Coated Products, Bright White Felt is defined by its considered composition. Containing 30% post-consumer waste and carrying FSC® certification, it reflects a material evolution shaped by both performance and origin.

Exclusively distributed in Australia by Ball & Doggett, it enables brands to align material choice with broader values.

 


A Natural Alignment

For Roam Distillery, sustainability is not a singular claim. It is embedded in how they operate. From biodynamic farming and resource management to small-batch distillation, every decision contributes to a more considered system.

This makes the choice of label material a natural extension of their philosophy.

Bright White Felt doesn’t compete for attention. It complements the story. A quiet, deliberate reinforcement of the brand’s connection to origin, craft, and care.

 

 

The collaboration between Roam Distillery, TwofromTwo, and Bright White Felt is one of alignment.

It brings together land, liquid, design, and material. Each playing a role in shaping the final experience.

Because in the most compelling brands, nothing is incidental.

Every detail is Felt.

What You’ll Find Inside

•             Curated textures & shades optimised for HP Indigo

•             Weight range suggestions for key applications (covers, cards, packaging)

•             Print-on-sample panels to show text legibility, solids, skin tones, and gradients

•             Finishing indicators noting suitability for creasing, foiling, or lamination.

Ball & Doggett launches application-led Cartonboard Swatch Kits for the Australian market


Ball & Doggett, Australia’s leading distributor of printable materials and packaging
substrates, has launched its new Cartonboard Swatch Kits — created to give printers,
designers and brand owners a clearer, more tactile way to assess packaging board
options. Designed with real-world applications in mind, the individual kits offer an
intuitive, hands-on view of how each board performs in production, reflecting the
industry’s growing focus on fit for purpose, fibre-based packaging solutions.

The first release showcases four core cartonboard grades:
/ Barry Bleach Board, Sumo
/ Super Hi-Bulk GC1
/ Sumo Celsius GC2
/ Sumo Greyback

Unlike traditional swatches, these kits are built around practical print outcomes rather
than standalone material samples. They are designed as a working reference tool,
helping packaging teams gain greater confidence in decisions around print quality,
structural rigidity and overall performance.

Josh Gleeson, Marketing Executive at Ball & Doggett, said:
“We wanted to create a tool that genuinely supports the way printers and designers
work. These swatches bridge the gap between specification sheets and what actually
happens on press and through finishing, making material selection simpler and more
informed.”

Each kit features a wrap-around wallet containing a tuck-end box that houses DL
sample cards. Together, they demonstrate board performance across scoring and
folding, die-cutting, gluing and finishing. The print shows both topside and underside
performance (topside only for Greyback), allowing users to evaluate how each board
behaves in realistic end-use application.

The DL samples showcase print, coatings and embellishment comparisons alongside
key technical information, while inside the wallets contains details on reel sizes,
application suitability and mill accreditations—providing a well-rounded reference for
both creative and production teams.

Tammy Arhontissas, National Manager – Fibre Based Packaging, said:
“These kits are designed to make board selection faster, clearer and more confident. By
showing real production outcomes, we’re helping customers choose materials based
not just on specification, but on proven performance.”

Industry professionals can now register to receive the Cartonboard Swatch Kits via Ball
& Doggett’s website:

Additional releases are already in development as part of Ball & Doggett’s expanding
swatch program.
