Acuity Thermoforming: MiMtec

Fujifilm’s thermoforming solution sets new standards in the thermoformed plastic industry and opens up new avenues for MiMtec.

 

“We were particularly impressed by the performance and stretching capabilities demonstrated by Fujifilm’s Uvijet KV inks. They don’t crack during the thermoforming process and maintain high quality and vivid colours without any compromise to the print speed.”

The high quality print and short-run capabilities were the distinctive features that prompted MiMtec to invest in the Fujifilm’s unique thermoforming solution. 

New creations

“We have extensive experience in vacuum and pressure forming and always stay abreast of technology advances. Fujifilm’s innovative digital print solution provides a cost-effective process to create branded items and will give us the chance to create bespoke, branded objects in shorter runs with much lower set-up costs than are typical of screen printing.”

Inkjet technology

“Fujifilm is the only print equipment manufacturer offering an advanced digital inkjet solution to print onto plastic substrates that can be formed into 3D shapes. We were particularly impressed by the performance and stretching capabilities demonstrated by Fujifilm’s Uvijet KV inks. They don’t crack during the thermoforming process and maintain high quality and vivid colours without any compromise to the print speed.”
