Newest Member
The JFX200-2513 is our newest member of the JFX Series LED Lamp flatbed printers
Smaller Footprint
JFX200-2513 is a smaller flatbed version of the JFX500-2131. It offers a compact
bed size of 4 ft x 8 ft and prints in landscape orientation while offering a space-
saving footprint.
Balance of Quality and Speed
Despite being a lower cost model, the quality and productivity are inherited from the
higher priced JFX500-2131.
User Friendly Operation
Front-Access: Operation panel, Vacuum valve and Ink System are all located on the
front side, allowing for easy access operation without moving around to the side of the
printer.
Layout Pins: Layout pins are useful for setting the media at the origin.

Reliability Accomplished by Stable Printing
Ink Circulation System: prevents white ink from settling
Nozzle Recovery Function: performs continuous printing even if some nozzles
are clogged.
Environmentally Safe and Energy Saving LED-UV Curing Light
LED-UV lamps have a long life and low power consumption. They also eliminate
the media deformation and discoloration caused by heat generated from older
metal halide lamps..

Major Differences from JFX500-2131
Benefits of LED UV
JFX500 Standard 645 sq.ft./hr (4C Model) 484 sq.ft./hr (4C+W)
JFX200 Standard 269 sq.ft./hr (4C Model) 134 sq.ft./hr (4C+W)
Lamp placement
The lamp placement is rearranged according to the head placement
Reduction of installation time by integrated packing and crating of unit
MBIS III is unique
The low cost ink supply system uses 1 liter bottles as ink receptacles.
- Use the special “jig/cap” included with the ink
- Screw on the “jig/cap” assembly
- Turn bottle upside down to install
- Turn in to break seal
- Ink decants into the holding reservoir
Honeycomb bed design is incorporated for strength and reduction of weight
Rack and pinion feeding method for accurate drop placement and positioning

Long Life LED-UV Curing Unit | JFX200-2513
Long Life LED-UV Curing Unit
Low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) / Ozone Reduced LED Lamp
Low VOCs and less odor. No ventilation system required.
Energy Efficient, Cost Effective Lamps Do Not Require Replacement
- Generates little heat and lights up on demand.
- Reduced total cost by low energy consumption
Heat Output Reduction with LED
The temperature of conventional metal halide lamps can reach 158°F, causing
media deformation. UV LED lamps cure at a much lower temperature so heat
sensitive substrates are not damaged. Installation costs are also reduced because
no special ventilation is required.
Increased Productivity
The long-life LED-UV lamp does not require maintenance or bulb replacement.
(The life of a metal halide lamp is about 1,000 hours)
Metal halide lamps require warm up and cool down time. LED-UV lamps turn on and
off instantly and are ready to use immediately after the printer is turned on.

MAPS II & Variable Dot | JFX200-2513
MAPS II & Variable Dot
MAPS II
MAPS eliminates banding by dispersing ink drops between passes. With this
technology, the image quality of high productivity mode and the uneven print
density using solid colors to reduce banding is improved.
Variable Dot
The variable dot technology uses 3 different dot sizes, large, medium and small,
to deliver high quality images with smooth gradations.

Prints up to 2” Media | JFX200-2513
Prints up to 2” Media
Print on media up to 2” thick. The maximum loadable substrate weight is up
to 110 lbs (50kg).
Head Gap
The gap between the head assembly and the substrate should be less than 2mm.
If the gap is set wider than 2mm, the ink drop tends to become distorted before it reaches
the substrate. Furthermore, if the gap is too wide, the reflected light from the UV
curing lamp increases. This could lead to drops misting on the nozzle plate surface
that may clog the print head nozzles.

Vacuum unit is standard equipment on the JFX200-2513
The vacuum is switched on/off by the operation panel (vacuum power cannot be adjusted).
Vacuum area is divided in X direction
Adjust to open or close the valves, depending on the media size (the suction rate
is increased by closing section panels not in use).

Nozzle Recovery System
Nozzle Recovery System
If a clogged nozzle is not improved using maintenance functions, continuous print operation
without losing image quality is possible by using the other nozzles to compensate.

RIP Software | JFX200-2513
RIP Software
Basic configuration settings
are displayed with icons,
enabling intuitive manipulation.
Related settings are gathered in
one screen. This leads to easy
operation without confusion, because
changing the pages is not necessary.
Also, modes that will be used often
can be registered in the software
to save time when sending files
to print.
Keeps you aware of ink usage and estimated print times.
A web update is available which allows online program updates
and profile downloads.

New Ink Supply System: MBIS III | JFX200-2513
New Ink Supply System: MBIS III
The procedure to set the special decanting cap to the ink bottle:
User friendly design: the procedure
to replace the ink bottle is to simply
take off the empty ink bottle and insert
a new ink bottle (1L) directly to the unit
with the cap jig attached.
Easy access: replacing ink bottles is
accomplished by placing MBIS III
at the front of the printer.
Lighted indicators: tell you when
the ink has run out for quick replacement
of the empty ink bottle.
*UISS (Uninterrupted Ink Supply System)
works when the 4C ink set is used.
Lighted indicators show the remaining amount of the inks
