Mimaki has announced the launch of the UJV200 Series, a new UV roll-to-roll printer designed to make high-quality UV printing more accessible, debuting at FESPA 2026.
Mimaki has announced the launch of the UJV200 Series, comprising the UJV200-160 and UJV200-130 models. The new UV roll-to-roll printer will make its first appearance in the EMEA region at the upcoming FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 in Barcelona, located in Hall 3 on Stand D95.
Building on the success of the manufacturer’s widely adopted 200 Series, Mimaki developed the UJV200 to make high-quality UV printing more accessible. The system aims to enable print service providers to expand into a broader range of applications without adding complexity to their daily operations.
Powered by a market-proven print engine derived from Mimaki’s flagship 330 Series, the UJV200 Series is engineered to deliver smooth gradients, sharp text, and uniform solid colours with minimal graininess. The company notes this ensures consistent, high-quality results across applications where precision and visual clarity are essential, such as retail graphics, wayfinding signage, and technical displays.
To ensure optimal ease of use, the printer features an enhanced Dot Adjustment System (DAS2). This technology enables automatic image quality adjustment with significantly reduced setup time and media consumption. The system operates effectively across transparent and coloured media to ensure consistent output quality, regardless of operator experience.
Leveraging UV technology, the UJV200 utilises instant ink curing, allowing prints to be handled, finished, and installed immediately after production. This supports faster turnaround times for time-sensitive jobs. In addition, the low-temperature curing process allows for printing on a wide variety of substrates, including heat-sensitive materials.
The UV curing process also leads to more energy-efficient production by eliminating the need for the pre- and post-heating required by heat-based technologies. Furthermore, Mimaki’s ELS-170 UV inks are formulated without SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) and CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) substances.
The inclusion of white and clear inks supports up to three-layer printing, which is ideal for applications that deliver visual impact within a functional design, such as window graphics, backlit displays, labels, and decorative elements.
Arjen Evertse, Director of Sales at Mimaki Europe, comments: “With the UJV200, we are bringing together three key elements our customers are looking for today: consistent high image quality, ease of use and the flexibility of UV printing. Our focus is not only on performance, but on enabling our customers to grow. The UJV200 has been designed to support both established print businesses and those looking to expand into UV, offering a reliable and flexible solution that adapts to different production environments.”
Andrew Gregory, Sales Director at UK and Ireland distributor Hybrid Services, adds: “The 200 Series has already set a new standard for solvent print and we are excited to expand this to UV print with the UJV200. Following its launch at FESPA you will be able to see the UJV200 in Hybrid’s showroom, located in Crewe, or you can contact your authorised Mimaki reseller partner to discuss how the UJV200 could benefit your business.”
The UJV200-160 and UJV200-130 will be available from April 2026. Both models are fully compatible with Mimaki’s cutting plotter series, enabling automated print-and-cut production utilizing ID Cut functionality.
Showcasing “Print Different” at FESPA At the FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, Mimaki will present the UJV200 as part of a broader showcase focused on the applications made possible by the company’s advanced and diversified technology portfolio.
Danna Drion, General Manager Marketing and Product Management at Mimaki Europe, explains: “At FESPA 2026, our focus is on showing what our technology enables in real-world applications. Visitors will see how different solutions come together to support creativity, flexibility and business growth – from signage and graphics to personalised and promotional applications. This is what ‘Print Different’ means in practice: turning innovation into real business opportunities for our customers.”
