Case Study
Showa Co., Ltd. (Kagoshima City, Kagoshima) : UCJV300-130
Our main job is production of construction signboards and safety signs, of which delivery time is as short as 2-3 days. In spite of such short delivery time, because of over 24h of required drying time of solvent ink printing, we had kept some customers waited.
The UV printer UCJV300-130 requires no ink drying time. It allows to attach the printed sheet on the construction signboard right after printing, which improved the work efficiency. Having the cutting function, it supports small lot production and contributes to cost reduction when producing products like stickers used at construction sites.
Komoro Animal Hospital (Komoro City, Nagano) : 3DFF-222
We purchased a 3D printer to output CT data of animal bones, etc. in 3D and tried various ways, but it did not go well.
With the introduction of the 3DFF-222, we were able to output the skeletal model as we wanted with support on how to output. The 3D model has made it easier for us to explain the surgery to the owners and to help them understand the importance of the CT scan.
L and F Co., Ltd. (Itabashi-ku, Tokyo) : UJF-6042MkII
We used to outsource printing on plastic parts and metallic plates, laser cutting acrylic plates, etc. in the process of manufacturing products, which took us a lot of time and money.
It became possible to do the laser cutting and printing processes in-house, which led to a cost reduction. We could also reduce the time for prototype production, which enabled us now to make various proposals.
Hagiwarainsatsu Co., Ltd. (Itabashi-ku, Tokyo) : UJF-6042MkII
We were exploring possibilities of new business utilizing our print technology to compensate for the decline in orders for paper-based print which we had handled with offset printers and on-demand printers.
Utilizing the know-how of data generation and proofreading that we used to do to process orders for paper-based print, we succeeded in moving into the new business field of original goods and novelties.
NATEC Co., Ltd. (Nara City, Nara) : TS500P-3200
Responding to the diverse needs for broad-width digital printing exceeding 3 meters in width, the introduction of new equipment was absolutely necessary to achieve further success in business.
It is stimulating previously hidden demands within the advertisement and signage industry, leading to expansion of market share. Furthermore, we managed to grasp the opportunity to lead the curtain/table-cloth sector with the innovative broad-width digital printing technology.
Marketiger B.V. (Eindhoven, Netherlands) | 3D Printer Special website
I started my 3D business with monochromatic 3D printers, but was struggling to keep up with demand due to the amount of post processing involved to add color. We examined a powder based full-color 3D printer, but found that the material was too fragile and the color faded within one year, so we decided it wasn't the right option for us.
The introduction of 3DUJ-553 eliminated the need for manual coloring work and made it possible to create molded objects in a short time with materials that had rich color expression.
KAPITA Co., Ltd. (Nerima-ku, Tokyo) : UCJV300-75
We would like to introduce an inkjet printer and a cutting plotter to realize full digitalization of sticker and label production.
Mimaki's printers are quite convenient to use. Particularly, UCJV300-75 is excellent in cost performance compared to other companies' products. Our company has boosted its business performance as a rare digital specialist in the sticker and label industry, and has a plan to establish its 3rd factory in the near future. We also expect to enhance our online sales and develop new products following the face stickers.
Shimizu Octo, Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) : M-64s
“High productivity”, “high-definition”, and “beauty of the solid area” are required for printing supersized graphics used for decoration of events like concert venues. M-64s fulfills these requirements, which makes it our favorite printer. However, we want to replace it because minor errors occur frequently. We also want to avoid troubles associated with the change of the dealer/maintenance provider (from OKI to Mimaki).
After replacing the machines, they started to operate smoothly and allowed us to work on almost the maximum production from the start. Minor errors decreased significantly compared to the previous machines. The stable operation is generating more cushion on the delivery schedule than ever. We did not have any particular dissatisfaction over the support, but we feel a sense of security in the support of Mimaki specializing in large-format printer.
NSK ECHOMARK Co., Ltd. (Agatsuma-Gun, Gunma) : TS300P-1800
Replacement was urgently required for the sublimation transfer printer JV4-180 upon termination of the maintenance/support term for the product.
High-speed printing capability accomplishing a maximum production speed of 115 sqm per hour enhanced productivity while declining the running cost. Additional fluorescent ink compatibility broadened the range of options offered to our customers.
Okumura Design Corporation (Nagoya City, Aichi) | 3D Printer Special website
We were looking for 3D printers capable of outputting high definition 3D data created in the office for use in explaining construction processes to our clients.
The model prototypes were extremely popular and we successfully landed requests for proposals. As 3D printers can reproduce models cheaply in diverse scales, they are better than outsourcing hand-crafted models, and we are confident they will become indispensable as effective business tools.
