Mimaki and local distributor Spicers put out the call to get hands on with the world's first latex white ink printer. Mimaki's JV400LX is officially open for inspection in a series of demonstrations held around the country, kicking off in Brisbane, Townsville and Sydney, with further venues to be announced.
Mimaki's JV400LX (pictured) will be on display around the country from March 18 onwards, showcasing its three-way intelligent heater and three-layer printing capacity. In a strong push for the two new partners Spicers get behind the world's first latex white ink printer, which it is calling one of the most innovative in the market. Harry Pagoulatos, marketing and business development manager, Spicers, says he is excited to be getting the wheels rolling with a fun, collaborative event.
"We signed up our distributorship with Mimaki late last year, and this is a great opportunity to get people engaged with what we've got out there for them. It's a great diversification for the business, and we have the substrates to complement the equipment. From a technology perspective it just seemed right, and now we're able to get out there and showcase some of the machinery. There will also be a range of Spicers products at the events," said Pagoulatos.
The JV400LX uses Mimaki's own water-based latex inks, LX101 and LX100, which is formulated as an eco-friendly alternative to contain reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Combining this with its new orange and green inks, the LX range now cover 93% of the Pantone colour chart, offering an expanded vibrancy and reach of colour gamut.
Event dates and venues are, from 10 am to 5 pm:
- Brisbane - Flash Graphics, 19 Chester Street, Newstead - Tuesday, March 18
- Townsville - IBIS Hotel, 12 Palmer Street, South Townsville - Friday, March 21
