Mimaki unveils new UV DTF

Technology and Next-Gen UV Inks

A leading provider of industrial inkjet printers and cutting

plotters, Mimaki Europe, is set to showcase its first UV-DTF
(UV curable, direct-to-film) printer, the UJV300DTF-75, at
FESPA Global Print Expo 2025. Combining Mimaki’s exper-
tise in sustainable, energy-efficient UV technology with its
proven DTF textile printing capabilities, this latest entry produces
high-quality, customisable prints, ideal for decorating items of all
shapes and sizes, including those with uneven or rounded surfaces.
The UJV300DTF-75 will be one of many industry-shaping innovations
making their debut at the event (Hall 1.2 / Stand B20), as Mimaki kick-
starts its 50th anniversary celebrations.
The brand-new UJV300DTF-75 uses a transfer printing method,
where the design is printed directly on a glued film, applied to a trans-
fer sheet which is then applied to the object. This further expands
application and creative possibilities with reduced risk of misprinting.
Equipped with proprietary silicon film pinch rollers, this printer effec-
tively addresses issues such as film peeling off or glue being removed,
maintaining print stability for desired quality and accuracy. The
printer incorporates Mimaki’s core technologies, including automatic
nozzle check, nozzle recovery function, ink circulation function and
anti-collision sensor, to ensure consistent reliability with minimal direct-to-textile Tx330-1800, with dual capabilities for printing on both
