Case Study

Challenges
Improvements
Want to print on cotton towels with inkjet, but have high hurdles such as installation of pre- and post-printing equipment, use of water, etc.
Started printing on pile polyester towels with the introduction of a dye sublimation transfer printer. After installing the TS330-1600, production efficiency and print quality improved, and the company is satisfied with the results.

We have conducted printouts of the exhibition works using "JV330-160" and "JV100-160".

Improvements
I would like to reduce operating costs while increasing productivity compared to conventional methods.
We are transferring from a two-machine setup of JV300 and M-64s to a single JV330-160, aiming not only for cost reduction but also for space savings and increased productivity.

Challenges
Improvements
In addition to the increasing cost of outsourcing as the business expanded, it took a long time to deliver products during the busy outsourcing period, which sometimes resulted in missed business opportunities.
With the introduction of the JV330-160, together with the previously introduced UJF-6042MkII e (Mimaki UV machine), approximately 80% of goods production was done in-house, enabling delivery in a short period of time. In addition, a wide range of cost reductions have been realized by in-house production of interior decorations and pop-ups used in the company's own stores. The company plans to add more equipment in the future to increase the in-house production ratio to close to 100%.

Need a printer that female designer can easily use
"JV330-130" was introduced. The "media changer," which can simultaneously load media used daily and special media used occasionally, has made it easier for a single woman to change media, reducing the operator's time and effort.

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.

Challenges
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.
