•The reduction of power consumption and CO2 emission
•Reduction of impact from heat
•With an metal halide lamp the media reaches an temperature of 70˚C or more, which can cause
deformation of the media
•The LED UV lamp generates less heat and opens up the possibility to print on
cheaper and heat sensitive media
•Improvement of the production environment
•Less maintenance with a long-life LED UV lamp (more than 5000 hours)
Note: The lifetime of a general metal halide lamp is about 700 - 1000 hours

UV-modes
•UVLED irradiation conditions by media are added
•There are optimum irradiation patterns depending on the media
•UVLED irradiation condition is embedded in Profile ver 3.2.
•The use of UVLED irradiation conditions, requires F/W2.0(or later) and
RL6 Ver1.7.2(or later)

•Changing profile set value
•By selecting “Profile Setting” on the UV mode screen, the printing in the
recommended UV irradiation is performed.
•The UV irradiation set value can also be adjusted between 70% and 130%.
•By setting value strong level
•UV irradiation becomes stronger
•This may leads to cure ink too much which causes ink crack when bending the
media
•By setting value weak level
•UV irradiation becomes weaker. In this case
•The ink may not be cured enough
•A warning is displayed
•when adjusting UV irradiation or changing conditions
•Like Pass, Print direction, Scan speed, Overprint

•MAPS 2 (Mimaki Advanced Pass System 2)
•MAPS 2 is newly added.
•The banding is reduced by dispersing ink drops between the passes
•MAPS 2 also prevents uneven color when printing solid colors
•The recommended setting of MAPS2 is AUTO
•Manual adjustment is possible, when banding and/or uneven colors
are not solved
•Manually the pattern and the smoothing can be adjusted
•When AUTO is selected,
the setting is automatically
done according to print mode
