One of the most interesting parts of print production is seeing the same artwork transform across different materials and printing technologies.

Version one was printed on General Formulations 765 Rainbow Holographic Vinyl with the Mimaki UJV330H 160 Hybrid UV Printer creating stunning metallic and shifting light effects.
Version two was produced on Palram Americas PVC using a Mimaki UJF Series UV printer with added raised 2.5D texture you can feel.

Same artwork. Same design.
Files drop next week in the Mimaki Sample Files Vault. More sticker packs and production ready graphics coming soon.

One of the most interesting parts of print production is seeing how the same artwork transforms when applied to different materials and printing technologies.

The first version was printed on General Formulations 765 Rainbow Holographic Vinyl using the Mimaki USA, Inc. UJV330H-160 Hybrid UV Printer. The holographic media creates metallic reflections and shifting light effects that make the graphic come alive from every angle.

The second version was produced on Palram Americas PVC using a Mimaki UJF Series UV printer, where we added raised 2.5D texture effects to create design elements that can actually be felt.

Same artwork.
Same design.

We will continue uploading new files, sticker pack artwork, and production-ready graphics, so be sure to bookmark our webpages and check back often.

The UJ330H-160 gives print shops a flexible path into both rigid-board and roll-fed UV production, combining industrial transport control, instant UV LED curing, and Mimaki print quality in one hybrid platform.

We’ve been experimenting with vibrant cubism flower artwork printed directly onto Palram PALIGHT® 2 mm PVC using layered UV effects, gloss enhancements, and specialty build-up techniques.

The result?
High impact graphics with incredible depth, color intensity, and visual texture that instantly stand out.

Current testing includes:
✔ Cubism inspired floral artwork
✔ Direct print to PALIGHT® 2 mm PVC
✔ Spot gloss enhancement effects
✔ Layered texture and build-up experimentation
✔ Specialty pull-back workflows
✔ Rigid substrate application development

The Mimaki UJ330H-160 continues to prove why this long awaited hybrid platform is getting so much attention by allowing seamless movement between roll media and rigid substrate production on one compact system.

This is where production meets creativity.

More applications and specialty graphics coming soon from our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

Christine Hanson and Carissa Terwey are already pushing the new Mimaki UJ330H-160 Hybrid UV Printer through advanced application testing inside our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

From specialty pull-back techniques to experimenting with the integrated lead edge tracking system, the results coming off this platform are seriously impressive.

Current testing and process development includes:
✔ Single and double pull-back applications
✔ Gloss layering and build-up effects
✔ Flexible media workflow optimization
✔ Lead edge tracking performance evaluation
✔ Documentation of repeatable production results
✔ Specialty graphics application testing

What makes this exciting is not just the visual impact, but the consistency and workflow refinement happening behind the scenes as we dial in real-world production settings.

The UJ330H-160 continues to prove why this long awaited Mimaki hybrid platform is getting so much attention.

More samples, more testing, and more specialty applications coming soon.

We are actively testing specialty graphics on flexible media using gloss layering and build-up techniques that create elevated visual and tactile effects impossible to ignore.

From spot gloss accents to dimensional texture effects, this system is opening the door to premium applications.

Current development testing includes:
✔ Single pull-back gloss applications
✔ Double pull-back layered effects
✔ Texture and dimensional build-up testing
✔ Flexible media specialty graphics
✔ High impact visual enhancement techniques

And this is only the beginning.

Next, we’ll replicate these same application methods on rigid substrates to demonstrate the true hybrid workflow advantage of the UJ330H-160 by seamlessly moving from roll media to rigid sheets and right back again on a single platform.

This is where hybrid UV production gets exciting.

Stay tuned as we continue pushing this platform further inside our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

🔥 BIG NEWS FROM AMCAD & Graphics 🔥

The new Mimaki UJ330H-160 Hybrid UV Printer is now installed and running in our Irving, Texas Technology Center.

This is one of the most exciting UV platforms we have added to our showroom because it gives print providers the power to produce BOTH rigid and roll applications on a single system without sacrificing quality, speed, or creativity.

Why the UJ330H-160 is turning heads:
✔ Hybrid UV printing for rigid boards and roll media
✔ Prints on substrates up to 2” (50.8 mm) thick
✔ Stunning color output and smooth gradations
✔ White and Clear ink effects for layered, textured, and premium applications
✔ Built for signage, décor, displays, specialty graphics, and more
✔ North American ELS-170 UV ink configuration

Our team is actively training on the platform and developing real-world applications, print samples, and downloadable test files so customers can experience the capabilities for themselves.

If you want to explore what next-level hybrid UV production looks like, this is the platform to watch.

More applications and live demonstrations coming soon from Irving, Texas.
