Mimaki JFX600-2513 UV Flatbed Printer
Overview
8' x 4' UV Flatbed Production at 2,152 sq ft/hr
The Mimaki JFX600-2513 is the 8' x 4' model in Mimaki's flagship JFX600 flatbed line — the fastest machine in the best-selling JFX Series. Sixteen industrial printheads drive full-board output in under sixty seconds, standing at roughly 330% the speed of the JFX500 it replaces.
A vacuum table holds rigid media up to 2.36" thick — wood, glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, metal, foam board, and corrugate all run on the same machine. Five UV-LED ink families cover rigid, flexible, and stretchable applications, and every one carries GREENGUARD Gold certification for low VOC emissions.
Key Features
- Sixteen industrial printheads – The density behind 2,152 sq ft/hr, roughly 67 boards per hour
- 8' x 4' full-bleed print area – 98.4" x 51.2" (2,500 x 1,300 mm), with media up to 2.36" (60 mm) thick
- 330% faster than the JFX500 – Measured at equivalent image quality, 4-color single layer
- Four, six, and seven-color configurations – Light Cyan and Light Magenta available for smoother gradation
- Five UV-LED ink families – Hard inks for rigid substrates, flexible for varied media, stretchable for soft materials
- GREENGUARD Gold certified – Low-VOC output suitable for schools, healthcare, and other sensitive interiors
- Mimaki Print Controller (MPC) – On-board touchscreen for job setup and maintenance without a separate workstation
- 2.5D multi-layer printing – Build raised texture and dimensional effects with layered UV ink
- Quick registration system – Fast, repeatable board alignment between jobs
- PICT remote monitoring – Machine status and production data from a PC or mobile device
Ink Range & Creative Effects
Ink choice is what makes a flatbed versatile. Hard inks give scratch resistance on rigid board and industrial parts. Flexible inks tolerate bending without cracking, for signage that will be shaped or shipped rolled. Stretchable inks suit soft substrates and thermoformed parts. On top of that, white and clear inks enable printing on dark or transparent materials, spot gloss, and 2.5D texture — the raised, tactile finishes that separate a premium display piece from a flat print.
Production Automation
- MDL command support – Integrates with automated workpiece transfer and conveyor systems for hands-off production
- Nozzle Check Unit and Recovery System – Detects blocked nozzles and substitutes healthy ones to protect long runs
- Optional 3-liter bulk ink – On-the-fly replenishment that removes frequent cartridge changes
- White ink circulation – Keeps heavier white pigment in suspension to prevent settling and blockage
- Semi-automated maintenance – Reduces the daily operator burden on a machine designed to run continuously
- Two selectable vacuum zones – Holds media flat and stable across the full bed

Applications
Ideal for packaging prototypes and POP displays, retail and exhibition graphics, large-format rigid signage, architectural and interior décor panels, photographic and fine-art reproduction on rigid media, ADA and wayfinding signage, industrial parts marking, and direct printing to wood, glass, acrylic, metal, and polycarbonate.
Why Choose the Mimaki JFX600-2513?
The JFX600-2513 handles industry-standard 8' x 4' board at better than a board a minute. For packaging, POP, and display shops where flatbed capacity is the constraint, that throughput changes what work you can quote — and 2.36" media clearance plus five ink families mean it handles industrial and architectural work too.
