“Responding to customer demand, the newly developed pure clear ink MH-110PCL is a product reducing the yellowish tint evident in the conventional MH-100CL clear ink, enabling a more clear-cut, transparent modelling,” Mimaki said.
“The ink is capable of depicting the clear expressions as intended by designers and architects, which is expected to be used in product design for home appliances and cosmetics, as well as in design mock-ups and design verification for industrial products. It is also suitable for use in medical and architectural models requiring visualization to confirm internal structures. In the field of 3DCG design, the ink is eligible for use in the expression of artworks, etc.

“As with the conventional MH-100CL clear ink, the pure clear MH-110PCL ink is not only limited to the expression of transparency but can also be combined with colour inks (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) for the reproduction of translucent colour (transparent with colour) expressions.
“Accordingly, the Mimaki 3D printer "3DUJ-553,” featuring the "full colour modeling capability with more than 10 million colours,” allows for use in designs emphasizing a broader range of colours and visuals than ever before with the addition of the clear and translucent colour expressions enabled by the transparent pure clear ink "MH-110PCL."
The pure clear ink MH-110PCL of 4.8 L capacity ink bottle will be available from May 2022.
