Platform Highlights
What makes the UJF platform valuable
These highlights are written for buyers comparing equipment, production teams planning workflows, and creative teams evaluating what the UJF platform can produce.
UV-LED curing
Ink is cured on or near the surface, enabling direct printing to many rigid products and reducing the need for transfer workflows.
Jig printing
Repeatable fixtures support batches of phone cases, badges, golf items, plaques, panels, and promotional products.
RasterLink7
Included RIP workflow supports variable data, jig printing, layered effects, and production management for UJF applications.
White and clear
White ink supports dark, clear, and colored substrates. Clear ink enables gloss, texture, and dimensional highlight effects.
2.5D effects
Layered UV printing can create tactile surfaces, simulated embossing, spot gloss, braille-style effects, and high-value decorative output.
Automatic maintenance
Nozzle monitoring, recovery, circulation, and automated maintenance functions help protect uptime and consistency.
Kebab HS option
Expands UJF flatbed use into high-speed 360 degree printing on cylindrical and tapered objects such as tumblers and bottles.
Dealer support
AMCAD Graphics can support pre-sale workflow planning, installation coordination, training, service, inks, and maintenance parts.

Which UJF model offers a larger tabletop print area?
The UJF-6042 MkII e expands the printable area to 600 x 420 mm (23.6 x 16.5 in), making it a strong choice for larger tabletop work, fixtures with multiple parts, signs, panels, and larger promotional products.
Which UJF model has the largest print area in this family?
The UJF-7151 plusII e has the largest listed print area in this comparison at 710 x 510 mm (28 x 20 in), along with a heavier listed load capacity for more demanding production needs.
Can UJF printers print on cylindrical objects?
Yes. With the optional Kebab HS system, compatible UJF Series printers can print 360 degrees around cylindrical and tapered objects such as tumblers, bottles, glassware, vases, and drinkware.
What materials can the Mimaki UJF Series print on?
Common UJF applications include acrylic, plastics, wood, metal, glass, leather-like materials, coated items, promotional goods, rigid panels, electronic parts, and finished products. Final compatibility depends on ink selection, surface preparation, adhesion requirements, and testing.
Can the UJF Series print white ink?
Yes. White ink is commonly used as an underbase on clear, dark, or colored substrates, and it can also be used in layered workflows for premium graphics and specialty effects.
Can the UJF Series print clear ink and raised texture effects?
Yes. Clear ink can be used for spot gloss, simulated embossing, dimensional highlights, tactile textures, and premium finishing effects depending on the model, ink configuration, artwork setup, and production workflow.
What types of businesses use UJF printers?
UJF printers are used by sign shops, promotional product decorators, awards and recognition companies, packaging prototype teams, industrial graphics producers, product personalization businesses, print providers, and creative studios producing specialty graphics.
What software is used with the UJF Series?
Mimaki RasterLink7 is commonly used with UJF workflows for job setup, color control, layered printing, jig production, variable data, and direct-to-object print management.
Are UJF inks suitable for indoor applications?
UJF ink suitability depends on the ink family and target application. Mimaki USA lists UJF ink families for UV direct-to-object production, and GREENGUARD-related sustainability information should be reviewed during final configuration.
