As the company expanded in the advertising market, it needed to handle more diverse jobs, from signage and soft signage to custom apparel and promotional items. However, its existing equipment posed challenges in quality consistency, colour stability, and reliable continuous operation.

Mimaki’s large-format printing systems expanded the company’s capabilities across rigid media, roll media and textiles. Stable, high-quality output improved flexibility for short lead times and small-lot jobs, while standardised operations improved efficiency and reduced training demands.

They were unable to print on rigid (board) materials, which limited the range of jobs they could take on.

By bringing both printing and cutting on rigid materials in-house, they are now able to respond more flexibly to customer needs. This has expanded the range of jobs they can take on and strengthened their readiness to win new business.

They wanted to increase cutting productivity. Cutting styrene boards and aluminum composite panels was done manually, but post-cut corrections were frequent and efficiency was poor. During rush jobs, they sometimes faced panic due to insufficient manpower.

By entrusting tasks like panel cutting to CFX instead of doing it manually, we've cut our work time in half. Tasks that used to require the entire staff can now be handled by a single person. The cutting quality is also high, allowing us to increase the number of products we can manufacture in-house.

The flag market is shrinking and we want to develop new markets.

By introducing 11 units of TxF150-75 and establishing an environment in which even new staff can manufacture goods so as not to become a dependent work, goods can be manufactured quickly, safely and securely. Can be ordered in units of 1 to tens of thousands.

They use a laser cutting machine for material cutting, but when cutting life-size panels made of aluminum composite panels, the cut edges melted due to heat, resulting in an unsightly finish. Additionally, they handle other materials that laser cutting struggles with, such as thin sheet films and styrene boards. They were searching for a cutting plotter capable of handling these materials.

CFX does not burn the cross section like laser cut, and a satisfactory finish is obtained.Since it has a dragonfly reading function, there is no slight positional deviation when cutting.Therefore, it is also useful for cutting small printed matters such as seals, stickers, and product mounting paper. The range of in-house manufacturing has expanded and it has become possible to meet various requests.

At SAN GRAPHICA Inc., while the "CJV300" had delivered high-quality printing, the expanding range of production materials necessitated more stable high-resolution output and improved workflow efficiency. Additionally, the ability to operate within limited installation space and the ease of operation and manageability even with a small staff were key points when considering equipment upgrades.

The introduction of the "CJV200" maintains the same high image quality while further improving color reproduction and detail stability. Its compact size and simple operation allow it to fit seamlessly into any workspace, streamlining daily tasks. Furthermore, low-odor ink and a system for monitoring operational status create an environment where even small teams can operate with confidence.

Support ski jumper Sara Takanashi with merchandise made using UV-DTF printers!

We printed the "JUMP for the Earth PROJECT" logo on a ready-made tumbler using the UV-DTF printer "UJV300DTF-75" and presented them to Sara Takanashi.

While strongly drawn to the potential of digital print wallpaper, he lacked both print knowledge and equipment. Existing design wallpapers either didn't match his vision or were prohibitively expensive, presenting challenges in finding options to achieve the desired expression.

The quick-drying properties of the UV ink for the "UCJV300-160" enhance on-site responsiveness. Combined with the "Artista," it enables wallpaper installation tailored to customer budgets. In addition to wallpaper, he built a production environment with enhanced expressive capabilities by utilizing multi-layer printing and gloss effects.

The existing cutting plotter could not cut rubber with thickness and hardness precisely. The area of the processing table was also small, and they wanted to increase the production efficiency. Since large products need to be made in sections and the labor of bonding occurs after cutting, they wanted to reduce the cost by processing them as a single piece.

Because CFX has a high cutting pressure and a large processing table, high-quality rubber products can now be mass-produced. Large materials can be cut only once, reducing the number of bonding steps. The processing speed is also fast so that they can handle urgent cases with plenty of time. Now that the company has more work to do, it can develop new businesses.

Printing on special materials and expensive materials with restrictions on materials and shapes involved time and risk in preparing jigs and printing from trial manufacture to actual production, and it was difficult to propose sales.

The introduction of a UV-DTF printer eliminates the need for jigs and allows a wide range of materials to be handled, reducing the time required for trial manufacture. The transfer sheet method has a high degree of freedom and contributes to shortening delivery times and winning new projects. The understanding of the sales field has advanced, and the ability to respond to not only order goods but also signature related matters has been greatly improved.
