Common ELS-170 Workflows
Channel configuration is a major purchasing and workflow decision for Mimaki UV production. These common ELS-170 layouts help shops plan around speed, opacity, layered effects, UV transfer workflows, premium gradients, and specialty graphics.
Standard CMYK
Best for straightforward production where throughput, standard signage, decals, and process color output matter more than layered white or clear effects.
CMYK + White
Useful for clear film, window graphics, opacity support, white backing layers, and jobs requiring color separation on dark media.
CMYK + White + Clear
Premium layered production configuration supporting UV transfer workflows, gloss enhancement, transfer durability, and specialty visual effects.
Dual CMYK
Designed for higher production speed where white and clear channels are less important than throughput and print volume.
| Configuration | Ink Channels | Primary Application |
|---|---|---|
| CMYK | C M Y K | Standard commercial production printing |
| CMYK + White | C M Y K W | Clear films, decals, layered graphics, window graphics, and backlit signage |
| CMYK + White + Clear | C M Y K W Cl | UV transfer workflows, gloss enhancement, premium layered graphics, and specialty effects |
| Dual CMYK | C M Y K C M Y K | High-speed production workflows where white and clear are not required |
| CMYK + LC + LM + White | C M Y K LC LM W | Premium POP graphics, smoother gradients, photographic output, and skin tones |
