• The Mimaki UJF-706 is a UV curing flatbed printer with a large print area (70 x 60 cm) designed for prototyping, proofing and personalized short-run production with the ability to print on flexible and rigid media up to 15 cm thickness such as metal, tin, glass, styrene, shrink foil, PET or OPP.
• Printing CMYKLcLm (with Light Cyan and Light Magenta), White and Clear ink, at resolutions up to 1200 dpi, the UJF-706 allows for superb detail, vibrant colors and rich special effects with gloss finishes. Due to a sophisticated print head arrangement, white and full color inks can be printed simultaneously without slowing down the printing speed. All inks can be applied in multiple layers enabling three-dimensional printing.
• Equipped with a Spray Suppressor System, which prevents satellite ink drops, the UJF-706 ensures higher print reliability and quality.
• The UV lamp allows printing on heat-sensitive and pressure sensitive media such as shrink foils without any risk of damage.
• Sheet by sheet or optional roll-to-roll functionality
• Of the two available UV inks for hard and for flexible print applications, GMG ColorProof only supports the hard ink type, as it reflects a wider gamut and can be used with clear ink (which is not the case with the flexible ink).

Special inks (white, metallic, and clear inks as supported by the printer) are handled as spot colors in GMG ColorProof (unless you are using an MX profile with white ink information which allows you to map the image white channel to the profile white channel). You can fine-tune the behavior of the spot color channel by adjusting the Area Coverage or by using a spot color gradation (sfg) file. You can also control the color composition by defining the tonal value and opacity of each ink, for example defining the amount of metallic ink used in a spot color.

GMG proof standards and calibration sets for UJF-706 printers are available for the following print media:

• Luminor 25 S10 Clear Foil (with curing intensity set to 50%)

If you want to use a different print medium, you need to add the print medium in the Database view (Database > Media) and assign the printer to the medium. You can then proceed to the next step and create a calibration set and a proof standard for the new printer-medium combination. All these steps are explained in detail in our printer-specific Starter Kits.

The Mimaki UJF-706 offers an optional roll unit to support roll media. Roll media is, however, used just like sheet media, with a fixed size (maximum and default size = 70 x 60 cm). To feed the roll media, you can enable an automatic feed after each job (Job > Printer Settings > Advanced > Paper Feed after Printing). You can furthermore specify a Spacing between Jobs in millimeters, so that the print medium is advanced by the job length plus the defined spacing before the print head returns to the starting point and prints the next job.
