Mimaki Australia has officially launched its new UJV200-160, expanding its 200 Series with a versatile UV solution tailored to the needs of Australian commercial print, sign and graphics businesses.
Designed to deliver high-quality output with ease of use, the UJV200-160 brings UV printing into a more accessible space, supporting businesses looking to increase application versatility while maintaining efficient production workflows.
Kohei Kobayashi, managing director of Mimaki Australia, said the launch reflects a clear shift in how local businesses are approaching print production.
“We’re seeing Australian print providers place greater value on flexibility and simplicity in their operations,” Kobayashi explained.
“The UJV200-160 has been developed to make high-quality UV printing more accessible, allowing businesses to expand their offering without adding complexity.”
The UJV200-160 combines the benefits of UV printing, such as instant drying and broad media compatibility, with a streamlined workflow that enables prints to move directly into finishing or installation.
This is particularly valuable for applications including signage, window graphics and retail displays, where speed and turnaround times are critical.
At the core of the printer is a high-density print head derived from Mimaki’s advanced 330 Series technology, which the company says delivers smooth gradients, sharp fine lines and consistent solid colours across a wide range of applications.
From detailed graphics to high-visibility information signage, the printer is engineered to reproduce designs with clarity and precision.
According to Jason Hay, national sales manager at Mimaki Australia, the new model addresses practical challenges faced by many Australian print businesses.
“For many customers, consistency and ease of operation are just as important as output quality,” Hay said.
“The UJV200-160 simplifies production with automated adjustment features that reduce setup time and reliance on operator experience. That means businesses can achieve reliable results across different media types with greater efficiency.”
The printer’s enhanced automatic image quality adjustment significantly reduces both setup time and media waste compared to previous models. Importantly, these adjustments can be performed across a variety of substrates, including coloured and transparent materials, ensuring stable output regardless of application.
Further expanding its capabilities, the UJV200-160 supports up to three-layer printing using white and clear inks, which enables the production of high-value applications such as window graphics, decals and labels – combining visual impact with functional design.
Kobayashi added that the introduction of the UJV200-160 is particularly relevant for businesses looking to grow sustainably in a competitive market.
“Australian sign makers and print providers are increasingly looking for ways to diversify their applications while maintaining control over costs and turnaround times,” he said.
“This printer supports that by offering a reliable, easy-to-use UV platform that can complement existing equipment or operate as a primary production device.”
With its combination of print quality, usability and application flexibility, the UJV200-160 is positioned to support a wide range of users – from established print providers to those entering the wide-format market.
“This is about giving businesses the confidence to do more in general, including respond faster to customer demands and explore new revenue opportunities. The UJV200-160 delivers the capability to grow without overcomplicating production” Hay concluded.
The Mimaki UJV200-160 is expected to be available in Australia from May 2026.
