The JFX600-2513, which won the award in the "Flatbed/hybrid printer (max. 100 m2/h) category," is a UV-LED flatbed inkjet printer that achieves a maximum print speed of 200 m2/h. It can be equipped with six colors, including Light Cyan and Light Magenta, in addition to the basic four colors (CMYK), enabling the production of high-quality sign graphics with a variety of expressive capabilities. White, clear and primer inks are also supported. While enhancing design, the use of primer ink allows to improve the adhesion of the ink when printing on glass and metals, which expands the range of supported media and enabling printing on a wide variety of media.
The maximum printable media size of JFX600-2513 is 2,500 mm × 1,300 mm with a thickness of 60 mm. It supports 4'×8’ boards, which are commonly used in signboard production, and can print on resin, wood, glass, metal, and other media. Additionally, it supports MDL (Mimaki Device Language) commands that allow users to control the printer from their production systems and peripheral devices, contributing to automation of printing processes such as workpiece transfer.
The EDP Technical Committee commented, "The JFX600-2513 brings strong added value to Mimaki's flatbed products. In addition to its improved print speed, the JFX600-2513 is very competitive given its ability to offer selectable ink sets according to user requirements. It also comes standard with IoT support and the option to connect to peripheral devices."
