Mimaki offers both eco-solvent and UV-curable inks for a wide range of printing applications. Eco-solvent inks, like BS4 & CS250, provide vibrant colours and high-definition printing, while UV-curable inks, such as LUS-120, LUS-175, LH100 & LUS-210, offer quick drying, durable prints suitable for diverse materials. These inks are engineered for reliability, consistency & long-term performance across various media.
Inks are developed with durability and environmental responsibility in mind. Mimaki’s eco-solvent inks are known for their biodegradable solvents, while UV inks—like ELH and ELS—offer instant curing, scratch resistance, and safety certifications. From fast workflows to advanced media compatibility, Mimaki ensures efficiency without compromising on quality or sustainability.
