Mimaki unveils new UV DTF technology and next-gen UV inks ahead of innovation-packed FESPA 2025

Mimaki Europe, a leading provider of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, is set to showcase its first UV-DTF (UV curable, direct-to-film) printer, the UJV300DTF-75, at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025. Combining Mimaki’s expertise in sustainable, energy-efficient UV technology with its proven DTF textile printing capabilities, this latest entry produces high-quality, customisable prints, ideal for decorating items of all shapes and sizes, including those with uneven or rounded surfaces.

UJV300DTF-75

The UJV300DTF-75 will be one of many industry-shaping innovations making their debut at the event (Hall 1.2 / Stand B20), as Mimaki kickstarts its 50th anniversary celebrations.

The brand-new UJV300DTF-75 uses a transfer printing method, where the design is printed directly on a glued film, applied to a transfer sheet which is then applied to the object. This further expands application and creative possibilities with reduced risk of misprinting. Equipped with proprietary silicon film pinch rollers, this printer effectively addresses issues such as film peeling off or glue being removed, maintaining print stability for desired quality and accuracy. The printer incorporates Mimaki’s core technologies, including automatic nozzle check, nozzle recovery function, ink circulation function and anti-collision sensor, to ensure consistent reliability with minimal user intervention.

Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe, comments, “Mimaki led the way with the release of its first DTF printer in 2023, which continues to be incredibly successful within the textile market. Building on this achievement, we are extending the core concept—printing on a film first, then transferring it to surfaces that are challenging to print on directly—to new markets. With the UJV300DTF-75, we have also leveraged our expertise in UV printing to deliver a reliable solution for object decoration, enabling high-quality, durable prints on surfaces that were previously unsuitable for direct UV printing.”

Further expanding its expert UV offering, Mimaki is introducing its next generation of UV inks, ELS-170 and ELH-100 at FESPA. The range abides by EU’s REACH regulation (SVHC regulation) and is GREENGUARD Gold certified, making it both environmentally and health conscious. The UJV300DTF-75 uses a unique combination of the two: ELH-100 (hard ink) for White and Clear, and ELS-170 (flexible ink) for CMYK, ensuring industry-leading durability with both strength and flexibility.

Mimaki encourages the industry to ‘Print Different’

To mark 50 years of introducing transformative technology to the sign graphics, industrial, and textile printing markets, Mimaki is launching its ‘Print Different’ vision. The initiative not only celebrates Mimaki’s legacy of breakthrough technologies but also highlights the company’s continuous commitment to driving creativity and sustainability in the digital printing industry.

In line with this vision, the Mimaki FESPA booth will showcase an impressive display of Mimaki solutions across multiple sectors, many of which will be demonstrated for the first time at an international show. One of these brand-new technologies is the recently launched, direct-to-textile Tx330-1800, with dual capabilities for printing on both fabric and paper. In addition, the JFX600 and CFX Series print-and-cut solution, as well as the CJV200-160, TS330-3200DS, and TRAPIS will showcase the wide-ranging, creative application possibilities enabled by Mimaki technology.

Danna Drion, General Manager Marketing and Product Management at Mimaki Europe, comments, “Mimaki’s ethos is one of continuous innovation that combines the need for productivity, performance and improved sustainability. This is why ‘Print Different’ exemplifies everything Mimaki stands for and provides the perfect backdrop for our 50th anniversary celebrations. It reflects both our pioneering spirit and our ongoing commitment to shaping a more vibrant, sustainable future for digital printing – with our customers at the heart of it.”

Mimaki is also shaping the industry’s future by supporting Girls Who Print and the FESPA Foundation. Danna Drion continues, “FESPA will be the official event to launch Girls Who Print Europe. This represents a powerful step towards a more inclusive print industry. At Mimaki, we know that true innovation comes from diverse voices, education and supporting communities. This is why we have pledged our commitment to the FESPA Foundation too. Together, these initiatives are empowering change and building a future where different opportunities are open to all.”
