Print quality, efficiency and profitability

Variable dot technology delivers fine gradations for high-resolution images

  • To reduce graininess, the 3 optimal droplet sizes (minimum 7pl) are automatically selected depending on the print mode
  • Graininess is also reduced by using the 900x1200dpi high-resolution mode, available for superior-quality printing

Optional twin-roll printing

  • Doubles daily production volume with the twin-roll printing function
  • Up to 2 rolls, with a maximum width of 1,524mm each
  • Materials with different widths can be used
  • The maximum roll weight is 100kg
  • Handles different jobs at the same time: different data can be assigned to each media roll
  • Both rolls must have at least the same thickness level and be printable with the same profile

Ink supply and configuration

  • High productivity, low ink consumption, and excellent cost performance
  • Uses Mimaki CS100 eco-solvent ink supplied in 2L bottles (CMYK), which remains weather-resistant for three years. More affordable than conventional ink cartridges, it offers exceptional stability and a reduced tendency to clog nozzles.
  • The newly developed ink tank holds max. 3L of ink per color and can be filled in one go for longer print runs with minimal intervention

Print head configuration

  • 4 staggered print heads for dynamic production
  • 1280 nozzles (320 nozzles × 4 rows) per head
  • 4 heads with a total of 5,120 nozzles

Optimized media feed for uninterrupted printing

  • The feed system for heavy materials improves operational efficiency
  • The print head carriage is equipped with two media jam sensors to detect wrinkled or sagging media, preventing damage to the print heads, head strikes, or media jams
  • High-precision, high-grip pinch rollers ensure stable media feeding and reduce uneven color printing caused by misalignment and banding
  • Redesigned tension bar and take-up system for stable media feeding
  • Constant media tension even after changes in roll diameter guarantees high-definition printing

Mimaki Core Technologies

Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS 4)

  • Banding reduction, even at higher speed
  • Disperses overlapping ink droplets between passes, preventing uneven ink drying and bidirectional streaking
  • MAPS4 operates in the higher-pass modes for each resolution, delivering stable, high-quality printing
  • The operator can use parameters for the optimal speed / quality balance

Nozzle Recovery System (NRS)

  • Mimaki’s NRS allows clogged nozzles to be replaced with available nozzles, reducing printer downtime, production losses, and poor image quality
  • When the operator detects a clogged nozzle, the missing nozzle can be replaced automatically or manually
  • Makes printing possible even if nozzles are missing
  • This NRS function increases uptime and postpones service intervention
Mimaki Rasterlink6Rasterlink6 Plus for intuitive operation
