The Mimaki UJF-3042MKII E is a compact tabletop flatbed inkjet printer that uses UV-LED curable inks. It is the successor to the UJF-3042MkII, with improved image quality and machine stability. It prints on A3-size media and objects up to 153 mm (6") thick. It suits specialty items, awards, personalized products and component pieces.
The print table moves vertically during printing while the upper unit stays still, which reduces vibration. Two ball screws, one on each side of the table, improve positional accuracy. The staggered printhead layout can print two layers of color and spot colors at the same time. Noise is lower than the previous model, so the printer can be installed in an office.
The print area is enclosed to reduce dust contamination and UV exposure, and the print table has a lift-up cover. A sensor detects objects, including transparent ones, though it may miss some depending on the object's size or form. Spacers, sold as an accessory, are needed for some object thicknesses. Mimaki Clear Control gives smoother, cleaner clear effects, and the printer can produce raised effects and braille. Enhanced auto maintenance features are included.
