Efforts of Mimaki
Collaboration between The University of Florence and Mimaki’s Italian importer Bompan results in a milestone for anatomical study.
The full-color “3DUJ-553” 3D printer was used to reproduce a 3D scanned human heart with high color accuracy.

Challenges
Improvements
Low color accuracy, fragile parts, and time intensive post processing produced less than desirable results with powder based full-color 3D printing.
The full-color 3DUJ-553 creates robust anatomical models with realistic color reproduction that are easy to post process.

Improvements
When necessary, the Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing Lab at the University of Auckland added color to 3D prints by hand due to the lack of vibrant colors and affordability in full-color 3D printers.
The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 full-color 3D printer now allows the Lab to print in 10-million colors at a running cost affordable to the university.

Considering the possibility of administering original printing to the leather for their products, DAIDOHBAGS was worried by the delivery time and cost of the material, since the only means available to the company at the time was to outsource the work.
With the introduction of "UJF-6042MkII e" UV printer, the company acquired the capability to provide the original leather prints in-house, solving the problems of delivery time and cost. DAIDOHBAGS now plans to start marketing products under their own brand.

The Team was seeking for large-format machines capable of high speed output as the maintenance period of the previous "M-64s" was drawing to a close.
"JV330-130" was then introduced, and the machine is operating without problems ever since. The printer, with its high quality, stability, and speed in general output mode, has successfully replaced the "M-64s".

We were having trouble concerning unsatisfactory printing result against demanding accuracy, or difficulty of faithful expression of gray color.
JV100-160 has almost accurate printing result as we expect, allowing us to work on urgent projects with confidence. And the application of orange and light-black inks of JV100-160 expanded the color gamut, resulting in faithful color reproduction and provided a wider range in expression.

Since the company's main clientele is private customers, they were looking for machines that could work efficiently to handle high-mix, small-lot production.
The company introduced the "TS100-1600" sublimation transfer printer and the "CJV300-160 Plus" print & cut machine. In addition to stable operation, the ID cut function of the print & cut machine has improved work efficiency.
