1. Best-in-class print speed, approximately 20% more faster print speed than the previous model

Because of the new printhead, with its longer nozzle lines (*1), the print speed of the UJF-3042/6042MkII has been increased by approximately 20 % (*2) more than that of conventional models. The maximum print speed of the UJF-3042MkII is 2.48 m²/h (*3) and UJF-6042MkII is 3.52 m²/h (*4). Moreover, the staggered printhead arrangement (Fig.1) increases productivity by printing process and spot colors simultaneously (*5). In FabLabs or retails stores, the new UJF-3042MkII and UJF-6042MkII models motivate personal customers to create customized items by demonstrating usability and instant print features.
*1: 636 nozzles per printhead (318 nozzles per line)
*2: Applicable print mode is 'standard'.
*3: 38 A4 size images per hour / Print conditions: 4-color, draft mode, 600 × 600 dpi, 8 Pass
*4: 52 A4 size images per hour / Print conditions: 6-color, draft mode, 600 × 600 dpi, 8 Pass
*5: Dependent on the ink-setting; simultaneous printing might not be possible in every case.

2. Advanced mechanical structure assists value-added print products

Table-driven printing delivers superior quality image

To reduce printer unit vibration, the print table moves vertical direction during printing without moving the upper unit of the printer. In addition, to achieve higher positional accuracy, two ball screws are installed on both sides of the table to assist table movement. The precise droplet placement reduces-gloss banding issues and enables creating more valuable print products. In addition, the noise level of this model is remarkably reduced compared to the conventional model; thus, this printer can be installed in an office.

Direct printing on an object up to 153 mm thick

The printable object can be as thick as 153 mm (*1). Moreover, the advanced sensor detects even a transparent object (*2). The new model accepts a range of materials with simple set-up steps.
*1: To utilize this feature, spacers are required depending on the thickness of the object. The spacer is one of accessories of UJF-3042/6042MkII.
*2: Depending on object size or form, the sensor may not detect the object properly.

3. High-performance UV-curable inks expand the range of applications

Flexible LUS-120 ink can print on soft materials

The flexible LUS-120 ink stretches up to 170% and delivers beautiful and durable print results on soft materials including leather or polyurethane.

Flexible LUS-150 ink has versatile adhesion capability on to various materials

The LUS-150 ink stretches up to 150% and delivers vibrant color representation. In addition to its use on soft materials, this ink adheres very well to rigid materials such as glass or acrylic. Examples of ideal applications are indoor signs or trophies.

Rigid LH-100 ink is highly scratch resistant

The LH-100 ink features high scratch-resistant, is chemically resistant, and has excellent color reproducibility. Ideal applications are smartphone cases, key fobs made of resins or plastics.

PR-200 primer increases ink adhesion

The PR-200 primer enhances the ink adhesion. The primer can be applied to the required areas by ink-jetting. This feature retains the texture of the material, which is not possible with manual primer application. The PR-200 can be used on resin, glass and metal materials without affecting their texture.
