Mimaki UJ330H-160
The Hybrid UV-LED Platform Redefining Wide-Format Efficiency
Strategic Production Capabilities
The Mimaki UJ330H-160 represents a structural shift in the wide-format industry, allowing print service providers to transition seamlessly between rigid boards and flexible rolls within a single 1.6-meter footprint. By integrating advanced piezoelectric printheads and cool-curing LED technology, the platform handles heat-sensitive media that traditional mercury lamps would damage, while maintaining production speeds up to 22.0 m²/hr.
Supports acrylic, foam board, and ACP plates.
Achieved in 2xCMYK high-speed mode.
3x more efficient than latex competitors.
Production Velocity Benchmarks
Comparative throughput based on ink configuration and layer complexity.
The 2xCMYK configuration offers the highest throughput for standard signage, while special ink modes allow for high-margin tactile and backlit production.
Energy Consumption Comparison
Total power requirements (kW) against industry standard competitors.
UV-LED technology requires no pre-heating phase, significantly lowering both peak and average operating costs.
Mimaki Core Automation Suite
Optical sensors detect infrared beam interruptions to identify clogged nozzles automatically.
Reassigns working nozzles to substitute for defects, allowing production to continue without stopping.
Automates bi-directional alignment and media feed pitch calibration to eliminate operator error.
Continuous fluid loop in white ink lines prevents pigment settling and head clogs.
High-Value Specialty Printing
Beyond standard graphics, the UJ330H-160 enables unique tactile and multi-layer finishes that command premium pricing. These capabilities allow print shops to expand into fine art reproduction, ADA braille signage, and complex architectural décor.
5-Layer Printing
Produce double-sided window graphics (Color-W-B-W-Color) in a single pass with perfect registration.
2.5D Embossed Effects
Stack clear or white ink to replicate woodgrain, oil painting textures, or ADA-compliant relief.
LamiFit Topography
Fills negative height spaces with clear ink to create an optically flat surface for bubble-free lamination.
ELS-170 Chemistry
GREENGUARD Gold certified, SVHC-free, and CMR-free inks for sensitive indoor environments.
