Mimaki LUS-170 Ink
Mimaki formulated LUS-170 ink for the UCJV series. It stretches further than most UV inks, which makes it a strong match for roll materials such as vinyl banners, polyester film, and adhesive vinyl. Shops use it for outdoor signage, POS displays, and similar roll media work.
Why Flexibility Matters on Roll Media
Roll material moves. It winds, unwinds, stretches over curves, and flexes when you apply it. A rigid ink cracks under that stress, but LUS-170 bends with the material instead.
What UV-LED Ink Does Well
UV-LED ink suits both interior and exterior applications, and it prints on a wider range of substrates than any other ink type. Its strongest quality is instant curing. Because the ink sets as it prints, you skip the drying and off-gassing time that other processes require.
Consistency is the second advantage. UV-LED ink holds its opacity and light reflection across different media. It also runs at higher average speeds than solvent printing.
Special Effects From the Clear Ink Channel
A clear ink channel adds a capability that other ink types cannot match: textured buildup. You can build matte or gloss layers on top of the print, which raises the value of the finished piece. Shops charge more for prints that customers want to touch.
Choosing the Right Mimaki UV-LED Ink
Mimaki makes four main types of UV-LED ink:
- Rigid inks for boards, panels, and hard substrates
- Flexible inks such as LUS-170 for roll media that bends and stretches
- Thermoforming inks for prints that get heated and shaped
- 3D inks for full-color 3D printing
