MIMAKI LUS-150 UV INK FOR JFX SERIES

MIMAKI LUS-150 UV INK SERIES is a lower cost UV curable ink with 1.5 times the flexibility of conventional UV ink. The cured ink film is less tacky yet still resistant to cracking even with secondary processing. This flexible ink is optimised for to have excellent bending performance on a variety of substrates.

Designed to print on various substrates, such as: metal, glass, wood, etc. It is most-suited to being applied to substrates where the print needs to be bended and twisted to shape.

Features:

• 1 Litre Bottles

• Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and White

• Vibrant colour results

• 1.5x the flexibility of conventional UV inks

• UV-ink, optimised for printing on substrates where bending, twisting, etc. is required

• Environmentally friendly

• Instant curing and drying

Immediate curing and adhesion by UV radiation: an ecological and energy-saving ink

The UV-curable ink is cured and adhered to the media or substrate by UV radiation. The print is already dried when it comes out of the printer, allowing a short delivery request to be met. Printing on non-absorbent materials, including plastic, glass, and metal, is available. To give shape to ideas, Mimaki offers a range of UV-curable ink products to meet demands from various industries, ranging from decorating and architecture to industrial design. UV curable ink LUS-170 gained the “GREENGUARD Gold” certification by UL LLC of third-party institution of safety science of the United States.

Environmental advantages: low-VOC ink and ozone-free LED–UV light

The color components of the ink are directly cured and adhered to the media or substrate by UV radiation, and the ink emits very low levels of VOC (volatile organic carbon). The LED (light-emitting diode) light does not radiate short wavelengths that generate ozone. Use of Mimaki UV-curable ink demonstrates consciousness about the environment and the health of users.

Mimaki released LED–UV-curable inks ahead of other global competitors

Mimaki first adopted the use of LED light to solve all the problems associated with metal halide lamps, such as long warm-up or restrike times, high power consumption, large bulbs, short lamp life, and high temperatures. The LED–UV ink curing system not only provides high quality printing with speed but also meets various demands from users with high media compatibility.

Energy saving and long life

The power consumption and heat generation of LED lights are remarkably lower than those of metal halide lamps. In addition to energy and cost saving, the long-life LED light reduces lamp wastage because of replacements.

High media compatibility with low heat generation

Thanks to the low heat generation of LED–UV light, Mimaki UV ink is capable of printing vibrant and beautiful colors on heat-sensitive materials, such as acrylic board, PVC, PET, etc.
