Mimaki Launches New Flatbed UV Inkjet Printer “UJF-7151 plusII e” at PRINTING United Expo 2025
05 November 2025: Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd. has announces the launch of the flatbed UV inkjet printer “UJF-7151 plusII e”. The machine was launched at PRINTING United Expo 2025 held in Orlando, USA from 22-24 October 2025.
Challenges in the Industrial Printing Market and New Solutions Offered by the New Model
The proliferation of digital printing has normalized short-run, multi-variety production in custom goods printing sector, such as smartphone cases, promotional items, and character goods. In the industrial printing sector, inkjet printers capable of stable printing on diverse materials like metal and resin are increasingly being adopted.
However, the following challenges persist in the field:
– Achieving both high quality and productivity proved difficult
– Printing on materials with uneven surfaces was challenging
– Flat printing had limitations in expressing three-dimensional effects
Addressing these challenges, the new UJF-7151 plusII e model inherits the top-class printing precision and productivity highly praised in previous models while significantly enhancing ink layering capability and uneven surface adaptability. Building on its existing performance printing on thick materials, it now enables three-dimensional texture expression through ink layering and improved conformability to diverse shapes like curved surfaces and irregularities. This supports high-value-added manufacturing across a wide range of fields, including custom goods businesses and industrial printing, opening new possibilities for industrial printing.
Key Features of the UJF-7151 plusII e
1. Industry-leading precision and image quality in the industrial printer market
Achieves industry-leading print accuracy through a robust chassis structure and high-precision position control. Excels in industrial printing applications such as dials and control panels. Furthermore, its high resolution of up to 1,800 dpi, combined with the use of light cyan and light magenta inks in addition to standard four-color printing, reproduces delicate color tones like skin tones and landscapes with natural and smooth results.
2. High-speed printing enables efficient production without printing plates
In practical mode, it can produce 19 sheets per hour (710mm x 510mm). The plate-free inkjet method eliminates plate creation and setup change processes, offering flexible support for short-run, multi-variety production.
3. Expand three-dimensional expression with raised printing up to 5mm thick
With a maximum ink layering of up to 5mm-significantly exceeding conventional models-it enables embossed effects and three-dimensional texture expression. This greatly expands the range of possibilities for goods production and decorative design expression.
4. Improved ink ejection performance enables precise printing on curved and uneven surfaces
Ink reaches surfaces up to 10 mm away from the ink ejection point, enabling printing on curved surfaces, molded parts with steps, industrial components and more.
5. Enhancing print productivity for industrial materials through accelerated primer application
Equipped with printable primer ink, it significantly reduces application time compared to conventional models. This dramatically increases printing speed onto industrial materials requiring primer treatment-such as acrylic, glass and metal – by approximately 3.7 times.
6. Ink-saving feature that reduces running costs with simple operation
With just two clicks, achieve up to approximately 42% ink reduction while maintaining color balance. Even without specialized knowledge, you can reduce running costs.
Furthermore, to support our customers’ production from both hardware and software perspectives, we are simultaneously releasing the new software integration management tool “Mimaki Application Assistant (MA2)”. MA2 displays a list of all software compatible with your Mimaki printer and enables you to manage it in an optimal state at all times. This allows you to seamlessly utilize product updates and feature enhancements, maximizing the convenience of our continuously evolving software.
Future Plans
The UJF-7151 plusII e is scheduled to go on sale in November 2025, with annual sales projected at approximately 300 units worldwide.
