Two weeks before PacPrint, the FESPA expo takes place in Berlin, where Mimaki, celebrating its 50th year, will release the UJV300DTF-75 enabling product customisation and value-added printing on items of all shapes and sizes - with no powder/shaker needed. Also new will be a 'next generation' of eco-friendly UV inks.
Mimaki's new UVJ300DTF uses UV direct-to film technology - no powder!
Mimaki will show its first UV-DTF (UV curable, direct-to-film) printer, the UJV300DTF-75, at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025. Combining Mimaki’s expertise in sustainable, energy-efficient UV technology with its proven DTF textile printing capabilities, this latest entry produces high-quality, customisable prints, ideal for decorating items of all shapes and sizes, including those with uneven or rounded surfaces. The UJV300DTF-75 will be one of many industry-shaping innovations making their debut at the event as Mimaki kickstarts its 50th anniversary celebrations.
The brand-new UJV300DTF-75 uses a transfer printing method, where the design is printed directly on a glued film, applied to a transfer sheet which is then applied to the object. This further expands application and creative possibilities with reduced risk of misprinting. Equipped with proprietary silicon film pinch rollers, this printer effectively addresses issues such as film peeling off or glue being removed, maintaining print stability for desired quality and accuracy. The printer incorporates Mimaki’s core technologies, including automatic nozzle check, nozzle recovery function, ink circulation function and anti-collision sensor, to ensure consistent reliability with minimal user intervention.
Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe, says: “Mimaki led the way with the release of its first DTF printer in 2023, which continues to be successful within the textile market. Building on this achievement, we are extending the core concept to new markets - printing on a film first, then transferring it to surfaces that are challenging to print on directly. With the UJV300DTF-75, we have also leveraged our expertise in UV printing to deliver a reliable solution for object decoration, enabling high-quality, durable prints on surfaces that were previously unsuitable for direct UV printing.” 
A hard hat to follow -Mimaki UV inks can print almost anything
Further expanding its expert UV offering, Mimaki is introducing its next generation of UV inks, ELS-170 and ELH-100 at FESPA. The range abides by EU’s REACH regulation (SVHC regulation) and is GreenGuard Gold certified, making it both environmentally and health conscious. The UJV300DTF-75 uses a unique combination of the two: ELH-100 (hard ink) for White and Clear, and ELS-170 (flexible ink) for CMYK, ensuring durability with both strength and flexibility.
Mimaki’s new ELS-170 and ELH-100 UV inks have been specifically developed to comply with the EU’s REACH regulation, helping customers to meet regulatory requirements, while providing durability and flexibility

One of these brand-new technologies is the recently launched, direct-to-textile TX330-1800, with dual capabilities for printing on both fabric and paper.
Mimaki Europe's Danna DrionDanna Drion, General Manager Marketing and Product Management at Mimaki Europe, says: “Mimaki’s ethos is one of continuous innovation that combines the need for productivity, performance and improved sustainability.
