• The new Kebab HS enables 360-degree direct printing on cylindrical objects, now extending to both sloping and tapered shapes.
• Named ‘HS’ after its high speed, this entry is three times faster than the previous Kebab MkII. It is an ideal efficient and high-quality solution for handling medium volumes.
Mimaki Europe, a leading provider of industrial inkjet printers, cutting plotters, and 3D printers, has announced today the launch of the brand-new Kebab HS. It is debuting worldwide at FESPA Global Print Expo 2024 (Stand F10, Hall 12). Serving as an optional system for Mimaki’s renowned UJF series of flatbed UV printers, the Kebab HS enables seamless 360-degree printing on cylindrical objects, such as bottles and tumblers. This latest solution can also print directly on tapered objects, including glasses and cups.
The Kebab HS is the latest entry into Mimaki’s Kebab Series of optional systems for the UJF Series of flatbed UV printers. With over 1,600 Kebab units already installed in EMEA, an average of 1 out of 5 UJF users choose to add this optional system to their existing workflow. UJF flatbed printers equipped with a Kebab option can achieve three-dimensional direct-to-object printing. This further enhances the variety of print applications possibilities.
Building on the capabilities of the Kebab MkII, the new Kebab HS takes productivity and performance to the next level. It is three times faster than the previous model. The Kebab HS significantly increases production efficiency and takes approximately 10 minutes to print per material. This speed is ideal for users handling mid-volume orders with a single printer. It broadens application possibilities in UV printing further. This is done by allowing personalisation on both cylindrical and tapered items with sloping sides1.
Arjen Evertse, General Manager Sales, Mimaki Europe, comments, “Here at Mimaki, we look to constantly innovate our existing products and create added opportunities for print service providers. The launch of the Kebab HS is one of the latest examples of this. As an optional solution, it allows the users of our popular UJF Series printers to add another dimension to their product offering and up their competitive edge.”
You can quickly install the option by attaching the main unit to the UJF series print table. Certified service engineers are available to provide a seamless installation experience for all users. The current Kebab MkII and Kebab MkII L will remain available. These models are recommended for customers printing on small-diameters (50mm or less) and materials longer than 280mm.
