Core Exhibitions has brought in the company’s first super-wide in-house textile printer in the form of the Mimaki UJV55-320 UV LED roll-to-roll printer from CMYUK, supporting the company’s ambitions to offer a fully self-sufficient production service.

The UJV55-320 joins an existing Mimaki flatbed, a CNC digital cutter, and other roll-to-roll printers, forming the heart of a busy, creative production hub.

Steve Clements, director, said: “The Mimaki just ticked every box. It does exactly what we need, beautifully and reliably, and it was at the right price point. It’s easy to use, the quality’s great, and it’s built for busy production.”

Until now, all textile work had been outsourced, limiting flexibility and control, however, bringing this capability in-house has transformed operations.

Mr Clements continued: “It’s been a total game-changer. We can now print all our textile graphics ourselves – lightboxes, tension frames, soft signage – and it’s made a huge difference to profit margins, lead times, and creative freedom. We can experiment, test, and respond instantly.”

The printer has also opened up trade textile printing opportunities, particularly through Innov8 Displays and Space Display UK, with the printer running a selection of UFABRIK textiles, supplied by CMYUK including the UFABRIK UV Blackback and UFABRIK Backlit ECO, which are both PVC-free, fire-retardant materials.

Mr Clements added: “The Mimaki and UFABRIK combination gives us a complete solution. It means we can print every part of a stand or event space ourselves, from rigid panels to soft fabrics, and know the quality’s consistent throughout.”
