UJV100, UJF, JFX or another UV printer? The reviewed UJV100 and UJV100Plus specifications list LUS ink families. A generic UV-printer designation does not confirm ELS-170 compatibility. Ask Amcad to check your model before selecting a different ink family.
Changing from LUS ink: use Mimaki’s ink replacement guide and confirm the approved process for your installed system. A profile listing alone is not an instruction to mix inks or refill a different family.
Plan the output before choosing the inkset
Color, opacity and finish
Each ink has a role. Explore the difference between the printed image, a white backing layer and a clear finish, then check the configuration your printer supports.
Explore the ink roles
Build the image with process color
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black build the printed image. On an opaque light-colored material, the media provides the background behind those colors. Match the RIP profile, print mode and inkset to the intended output.
Plan the sample: For a sample check, include fine text, a neutral gray and a solid color area. Review the result on the actual production material.
Control the backing behind the image
White provides an opaque layer for color on supported clear or colored media. The layer order and viewing side are part of the job setup; they can change for front-view and reverse-view graphics.
Plan the sample: Before production, confirm where the graphic will be viewed, which areas need white and whether the intended printer supports that inkset.
Add a selected clear finish
Clear ink supports finishing effects on printers and inksets that offer it. The artwork separation, supported print mode and intended surface appearance determine how the clear area is prepared.
Plan the sample: Review a physical sample for appearance and handling. For UJV300DTF-75, the required Clear ink belongs to the ELH-100 family.
Conceptual illustrations show the purpose of the layers. Use the printer’s approved sequence, media, curing mode and ink family for production; this is not a UV-DTF layer recipe.
Window and display graphics
Plan the viewing side, transparency and white backing before preparing the file. Evaluate both the unlit and illuminated appearance when the job uses backlighting.
Decals and flexible graphics
Use the intended film, adhesive and finishing process in the sample. Check adhesion, bending and expected exposure before committing a job to production.
UV-DTF object decoration
Use the printer’s specified ink, adhesive-film and transfer system. White and Clear are functional inks; neither replaces the required adhesive film.
Know the specification behind the label
Certification and safety documents
GREENGUARD Gold: low chemical emissions
Mimaki lists ELS-170 as GREENGUARD Gold certified. UL’s program evaluates chemical emissions, with Gold applying stricter limits for indoor environments. Follow the current SDS and printer instructions for handling liquid ink and operating the printer.
Mimaki describes its ELS formulation as SVHC-free and CMR-free. Its current CMR footnote refers to the ink’s EU-CLP classification as of March 2026; check the regional SDS for the exact color.

ELS-170 questions, answered
What is Mimaki ELS-170 ink?
ELS-170 is a flexible UV-curable ink family for supported Mimaki printers. It cures with the printer's UV system and is supplied in 1 L bottles for the listed applications.
Sources: Mimaki UV-curable ink · UJ330H-160 specifications
Which printers use ELS-170?
Current specifications list the UJV300DTF-75, UJ330H-160 and UJV200-130/160. Mimaki also publishes ELS-170 software and profile support for UCJV330, UCJV300 and UCJV150-160; those installations require a configuration and regional availability check.
Sources: UJV300DTF-75 specifications · UJ330H-160 specifications · UJV200 Series specifications · New ELS-170 profiles, August31,2026
Does every ELS-170 printer use all eight colors?
No. Eight colors are offered across the family. Each printer has approved combinations, and some inksets use repeated White or Clear channels. Match the bottle to the installed ink family and color.
Sources: UJ330H-160 supplies · RasterLink7 update documentation
Does the UJV300DTF-75 use ELS-170 White and Clear?
No. It uses ELS-170 Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black with ELH-100 White and Clear. Select the correct ink family for each channel.
Sources: UJV300DTF-75 specifications
Can I replace LUS-170 with ELS-170 myself?
Do not assume it is a refill-only change. Mimaki provides an ink replacement feasibility guide, and approved support depends on the model and software environment. Ask Amcad to confirm the procedure for your installed inkset before changing families.
Sources: Guide to SVHC-free ink replacement · SVHC-free ink replacement overview · RasterLink6Plus update documentation
Is ELS-170 approved for UJV100, UJF or JFX printers?
The reviewed UJV100 specifications list LUS ink families. A general UJF/JFX UV-printer listing does not establish ELS-170 compatibility. Ask Amcad to check your exact model against current manufacturer documentation.
Sources: UJV100-160 specifications · UJV100-160Plus specifications · Guide to SVHC-free ink replacement
What does GREENGUARD Gold mean for ELS-170?
It is certification for low chemical emissions under the program's test conditions. It does not replace the current SDS, the printer's operating instructions or an application-specific approval.
Sources: UL Solutions GREENGUARD certification · Mimaki UV-curable ink · ELS-170 Black U.S. SDS
Is UV-DTF ink the same as textile DTF ink?
No. ELS-170 is UV-curable ink used in supported UV systems. Mimaki's textile DTF process uses PHT50 heat-transfer pigment ink, film, hot-melt powder and heat transfer. The ink families are not interchangeable.
Sources: Mimaki heat-transfer pigment ink · UJV300DTF-75 specifications
Where can I find the U.S. SDS?
Use the color-specific ELS170 part-number links in the safety documentation section, or the Mimaki SDS (USA) directory. Match the document to the color, product label and region.
Sources: Mimaki SDS (USA)
Can ELS-170 be used on any media?
Media adhesion, flexibility and durability depend on the substrate and printing process. Test the intended material and finished application; a printer's media-handling capability alone does not guarantee ink performance.
Sources: UJ330H-160 specifications · UJV200 Series specifications
