Printing on Dominoes with the Mimaki UJF-3042 Inkjet Printer

Printing on dominoes is a great application for the Mimaki UJF-3042 inkjet printer. The smooth surface texture would normally present a challenge to other inkjet printers because of adhesion quality, however for the superior Mimaki inkjet printer this task is not a problem.

With a little pretreatment, the Mimaki UJF-3042 was able to print these high resolution images on these dominoes. To really make these images pop, try adding a layer of white behind the color.

Printer used in this project:
Type: UV LED Inkjet Printer
Brand: Mimaki
Model: UJF-3042
Standard applications: Promotional products, Pens, etc…

Printing on Pad Folios With the Mimaki UJF-3042 Inkjet

Leather Binder

Inkjet Printing on Leather Binders


The Mimaki UJF-3042 inkjet printer makes great, high quality, prints every time! We printed a sample for a customer on this leather binder. Typically, leather is a difficult material to inkjet print on because the leather is a dark in color and older inks would not adhere well to the material. Because of the Mimaki’s revolutionary design, this inkjet is able to print on leather with ease.

The Mimaki UJF-3042 inkjet printer allows the user to print in white and color at the same time because of the staggered print head design. We laid down a white back drop and printed the image on top of it. Printing on white really brings out the colors in the image. The ink is fully curable by low temp LED UV light, therefore no the heat will not damage the leather material during the curing process.

We printed these images on the vinyl with virtually no pretreatment at all!

We placed the vinyl in the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer and heated it with the integrated part heating system to increase adhesion. We were able to place these side by side in the printer and print each image simultaneously. Great for vinyl flooring that snaps together like a puzzle, just print the image on it connected together, then break it apart!

Inkjet printing on vinyl allows us to print any image we want! Endless possibilities for backers and flooring. Want that hardwood floor look, yet you don’t want that hard wood floor price? Print it on vinyl and only pay a fraction of the cost for the same look!

Custom Stainless Steel Bottle – PromoJet Cylinder Printer

Stainless steel bottle

Stainless Steel Bottle (Click to Expand)

Who doesn’t love a cup of coffee in an steel bottle…!? :)

We printed this chic Starbucks logo by first using a screen printing machine to create the white background. After that we used the PromoJet cylinder printer to print the remaining black and green colors of the logo.

Technically speaking… the PromoJet doesn’t print in white, but by printing a white background, using a screen printer, we were able to register and print the Starbucks logo in the exact location. This procedure can be used on any dark colored bottle as long as the white imprint is registered to a known location on the bottle.

The rotary inkjet fixture enables the PromoJet to function like as a cylinder printer capable of printing on objects such as stainless steel bottles, flashlights, hockey pucks etc. The fixture is easy to attach and is a great addition to the PromoJet series of Inkjet Printers.

If you want to know more about this cylinder printer, please give us a call at 978-646-8980!

Printer used in this project:
Type: Solvent flatbed inkjet printer
Brand: PromoJET
Model: With Add-on Rotary Fixture
Standard applications: Water bottles, stainless steel bottles, pencils, pens, golf balls, CDs, iPod covers…
Unconventional applications: custom guitar picks, mouse pads, stained glass, plaques…

Luggage Tag

Personalized Luggage Tag

The PromoJET is known for being an extremely versatile printer, capable of printing on objects of different sizes and shapes. But let’s not forget that a small flat objects such as luggage tags is another great application for the PromoJET Inkjet Printer.

They came out looking very shiny and the resolution of the artwork in really outstanding. See for yourself by clicking on the picture to see a larger image!

Greg simply followed 3 easy steps to go from plain white tags to colorful personalized luggage tags.

• First thing he needed to do was to wipe down the tags with alcohol to get all those sticky fingerprints off!
• Secondly, he pre-treated them using a heat gun which is a pretty common procedure in order to get the best ink adhesion possible.
• Lastly, all he did was placing the luggage tags on the printer table and off it goes!

One of our customers wanted to see how the PromoJET colors would make out on wooden pencils. We think that the PromoJET did a great job on all three of them!

Like in most cases, all Gregg had to do was to pre-treat the objects with our heat gun before printing. The tray is big enough to hold 60 pens at a time and they were all done in just about 2 min and 40 sec at 1440 DPI.

Logo on BlackBerries (click image to expand!)

As true Red Sox fans, Derek and Gregg wanted to show their support – for the best baseball team in the world! A great alternative to getting a permanent tattoo…

The Mimaki UJF inkjet works great on different surfaces and textures, such as these shiny metallic ones. To get the best result, Paul used a PP wipe on the covers before printing them. After the images were done, he applied clear coat over the colors to make them shiny. Derek and Gregg are now totally ready for baseball season to start.
