Miyakoshi unveils new inkjet label printer

Miyakoshi will present its new UV LED inkjet printer MJP13LXV able to run at a speed of 50m/min and 1200 x 1200 DPI resolution. The new press can be set with up to six colors and is designed to work with UV LED inks. The company equipped it with pinning drying technology between color applications and LED curing system. The latter is powered by Miyakoshi’s nitrogen purging technology, which reduces the odor and improves the drying process. At the end of the production line, the substrates are finally passed through a chill roller for finishing and color fixing.

The company will be also showcasing an improved MLP-C model, equipped with UV dryers and chill rollers. This semi-rotary web offset press runs at 101m/min with a repeat length of 406.4mm. Miyakoshi introduced cold start and automatic plate change on this model to reduce substrate waste and improve timings on changeovers. Target applications are label runs between 500-30,000m, requiring different processes and finishes in-line. MLP-C is available in 350mm and 420mm web widths.
