UCJV300/150-160 can create more vivid expression with a higher color density. High color density print is not easy by solvent as the property of taking time of drying for ink bleeding.

---

-2- Possible to print wider range of materials for broadening applications

---

By applying UV ink, not only PVC and tarpaulin, also, other materials difficult to solvent and latex such as fabric, paper and PET film are printable. UV can provide a diverse printing application.

---

3. Newly developed environmentally friendly UV ink, [LUS-170]

---

Newly developed ink, [LUS-170] adaptive to environment, generates hardly VOC and can cure without the irradiation of short wavelength UV. [LUS-170] yellow ink is eco-friendly and nickel free though general yellow inks are compounding it. [LUS-170] is currently under applying the [GREENGUARD Gold] certification, which is based on most strict global standard of chemical substance diffusion.

• [Continuous registration mark detection] for consecutive cutting,
• [Over Cut / Corner Cut] for cutting sharply on preventing an occurrence of uncut,
• [Intermediate Cut] for a correct cut of long outline by multiple corrections of position with intermediate registration marks,
• [Register mark of Zero margin] for saving media losses to eliminate the margin between register marks.

And more.

2) A newly equipped function [ID Cut]: Quicker and easier operation

[ID Cut] is a function to print together crop mark and ID for recognition of cutting details and media rotation of job and then cut data of every print data is readable to start the cut automatically.
It saves the labor of confirmation of media direction and no need to have every cut order by operator on the RIP, even in a case of multiple types of small lot cut. It reduces media loss by data transmission error.
