Exclusive distributor Hybrid Services will host the UK debuts of three new Mimaki UV flatbed printers, a DTF textile system, and RasterLink8 software
Mimaki has announced a series of hardware and software launches, including three UV flatbed printers, a direct-to-film (DTF) textile printer, and an updated RIP software suite. The new lineup will make its UK exhibition debut on distributor Hybrid Services’ stand at The Print Show 2026, running at the NEC Birmingham from 29 September to 1 October.
Building on earlier flatbed iterations, the JFX220-2515 offers a 2,500 x 1500mm printable bed size, tailored for European rigid media boards up to 101.6mm thick. Running a four-head dual CMYK print configuration, the platform reaches production speeds of up to 42 square metres per hour. The press introduces Anchor Technology which activates the vacuum zone only where media is placed on the bed, eliminating manual masking. The machine also supports fluorescent EFS-150 inks, braille printing, 2.5D texture embossing, and an LD4 mode for printing across distances up to 20mm from the printhead.
Designed for industrial product decoration, the compact UJF200 Series, comprising the UJF200-3042 and UJF200-6042 models, accommodates items up to 250mm high and 20kg in weight. The series offers optional camera-based registration to automate alignment, while the larger 6042 model can be integrated with an optional belt feeding unit for automated environments. All new flatbeds ship with the vendor’s updated RasterLink8 RIP and workflow software, introducing enhanced job management and automated camera alignment.
Arjen Evertse, Sales Director at Mimaki Europe, commented, “Print businesses across the sign graphics and industrial sectors are under increasing pressure to deliver more work in shorter lead times, all while managing rising costs and shortages of skilled operators. The JFX220-2515 and UJF200 Series have been developed to simplify everyday production and reduce manual intervention. RasterLink8 further streamlines and automates these workflows.”
For textile application specialists, the manufacturer is introducing the TxF330-800 DTF press, featuring automated maintenance, expanded white ink capacity, and new Sky Blue and Pale Pink ink options.
Sales Director at Hybrid Services, Andy Gregory, added, “It’s a privilege for Hybrid to host the launch of these important new Mimaki products at The Print Show. Both the JFX220 and UJF200 Series bring significant developments in automation, productivity and application capability, and we’re confident they have the potential to make a significant impact in their respective markets.”
