Features

This section explains the main features of the printer.
(1) Adopting UV curing ink
UV curing ink (Ultraviolet curable ink) has improved the operability as it is cured and fixated
immediately after printing. Ink fixation on various materials has also improved.
(2) Supporting thick media
Height adjustment mechanism of the print head now supports rigid media of up to a thickness of
*1
15.0 mm.
A wide variety of media of a thickness of 0.08 mm to 15.0 mm is supported.
*1: Hard media such as a board is described as "rigid media" in this manual.
(3) Supporting hard media
Rubber rollers adopted in the feeding mechanism have realized feeding rigid media such as plastic plate.
(4) Improved color development and supporting special printing
White ink and varnish (clear top coat) supported (when using 6 colors). Using white ink as the base
(under layer) when printing on transparent media or colored material improves color development.
(Layer printing depends on the function of the RIP software you are using.)
White ink printing is thicker than other colors as twice the amount of nozzles are used for white ink.
Layering varnish (over layer) creates a glossy finish and thick printing.
(5) LED pointer embedded
Embedded LED pointer has made it easy to change the origin point for printing. By saving the changed
origin position, it has also been made easy to print on the same position repeatedly.
(6) Improved Media-feed table functions (optional)
Embedded rollers in Media-feed table have improved the feeding accuracy for rigid media.
(7) Compact and light Spectrophotometer (optional)
A compact and light Spectrophotometer (SPECTROVUE VM-10) to measure visible light ranging from
400 nm to 700 nm can be directly connected to the printer. Spectrophotometer can be used as a
colorimeter for color calibration or color profiling. (Color calibration and profiling depend on the RIP
software functions being used.)
Install Spectrophotometer on Print head to measure the color target automatically.
