Mimaki UJF-3042MKII Cap Assy CE – M021402 for UV Flatbed Printers

UJF-3042MKII Cap Assy CE MP-M021402 Description

The Mimaki Cap Assembly CE (Part No. M021402) is a 100% genuine OEM component engineered specifically for the Mimaki UJF-3042MKII and compatible UJF series UV flatbed printers. As a critical part of the automatic maintenance system, it ensures long-term printhead reliability by providing consistent capping performance during idle and cleaning cycles.

This cap assembly is designed to maintain optimal printhead condition in demanding UV printing environments where rapid ink curing and particulate contamination pose significant risks to print head longevity.

Core Functions

Airtight Sealing: Prevents oxygen and UV exposure at the nozzle plate, stopping premature curing of UV ink and nozzle drying.

Nozzle Clog Prevention: Creates a sealed, humid chamber to maintain ink fluidity during standby, reducing the risk of blockages.

Effective Ink Suction: Integrates with the maintenance pump to enable powerful vacuum cleaning cycles, clearing debris and degraded ink.

Contamination Shield: Blocks dust, substrate particles, and overspray from entering the capping station and damaging the printhead.
