White inks for Mimaki printers now available from GPT

GPT has announced the immediate availability of white inks for Mimaki's JV400 latex printer range. Offering a unique option within the latex printer market, the vibrant and highly opaque white ink works alongside Mimaki's high gamut four colour process inks and is compatible with the JV400-130LX and JV400-160LX wide format printers. Mimaki has also announced that green and orange inks will be launched at FESPA 2013.

When using the new white inks in conjunction with the latest RIP software, three-layer printing is achievable, enabling print providers to create two-way viewed graphics.  It is ideal for producing window graphics and retail signage onto clear substrates. High quality registration between process and white layers ensures an attractive and high colour result, with the white layer providing the necessary backing for each layer of colour.

The Mimaki JV400 range of latex printers features strong eco credentials alongside a piezoelectric print head that fires variable drop sizes allowing the production of high quality print onto a broad range of substrates.

Stuart Cole, general manager of GPT, says, “The Mimaki JV400 latex printer range offers print providers a wealth of benefits. The new printer range runs significantly cooler (60 degrees) than other manufacturers’ Latex printers and therefore is able to print on a wider range of materials and can be left unattended for overnight printing.

"The addition of white inks further expands the range of applications and image quality these machines can offer and ticks many more boxes for the full service sign and print service provider. The upcoming orange and green inks are also another important feature in the battle for supremacy in the Latex printer market.”
