Mimaki have announced their new latex ink “LX101” for the latex inkjet printers JV400-130/160LX. The “LX101” ink is scheduled for release in April, 2013.
The JV400LX series already supports the world’s first white latex ink.
Mimaki clam that the new latex ink “LX101” achieves an even more vivid, higher image quality by improving glossiness and increasing the density of black ink. In addition, six-colour process printing becomes available by adding Orange and Green inks to the standard 4-colour setup (CMYK), thus delivering higher colour reproduction and a wider colour gamut. Since six-colour process printing is compatible with Mimaki’s original RIP software “RasterLink6”, the total solution of ink, printer, and software is provided.
Main Features:
1.Wider colour gamut is achieved with six-colour process printing including Orange & Green ink
・A wider colour gamut which previously could not be achieved with conventional 4-colour（CMYK）Process Printing is attained, allowing effective reproduction of corporate colours such as company logos.
・Brilliant orange and green inks reproduce vibrant pastel colours, which are ideal for colourful posters and POP’s for food industry products.
・Spot colour reproduction is improved, which enables production of excellent design package proofs in cases where designs require spot colours.
2.High density black ink and improved glossiness deliver rich and contrasting details
・By increasing the density of black ink, sharper, richer details are attained.
・The improved glossiness creates more vivid colours.
3.White ink which expands the range of applications is supported with the white ink circulation system
・A white ink layer provides more vivid colour results on transparent substrates such as window film and shatterproof film, which meet a wide variety of needs in the sign graphics industry.
・JV400LX series printers are equipped with a white ink circulation system “MCT”* that prevents pigments from settling by routinely circulating the white ink. This ensures consistent printing.
4.Excellent drying and work-efficiency
・The ink dries fast enough to immediately move on to secondary processes such as laminating and installing.
・Because drying time is not required, the total work-efficiency is dramatically improved.
* MCT: Mimaki Circulation Technology (MCT works only for white ink)
