Summary and Key Considerations
BORAN 2513 UV Flatbed Printers (Ricoh Gen6-Based)
Best for:
Industrial capacity, extreme versatility in media thickness, and high production speed and more printing effect. If your business needs to print on exceptionally thick objects (e.g., gift boxes, thick wood blocks, or promotional items with unusual height) and volume is critical, the high-gap and speed and more printing effect are major advantages.
Key Advantage:
Maximum Media Thickness (Z-axis). They often handle media up to 900mm or 100mm thick, far exceeding the Mimaki.
Head Type:
Uses industrial, often third-party heads (Ricoh, Epson, etc.), which can be cheaper to replace but may require more hands-on maintenance.
Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX
Best for:
High-value, creative applications, reliability, and print quality consistency. If your work includes a lot of ADA-compliant Braille, textured art, or high-end retail signage where the "2.5D" effect is a differentiator.
Key Advantage:
Proprietary Technology and Stability. The 2.5D Texture Maker simplifies creating complex textured prints, and the NCU/NRS system is a major time-saver for ensuring continuous, quality output.2
Brand Reputation:
A well-established, globally recognized Japanese brand known for excellent color management and machine longevity, which often translates to a higher initial investment.
In short, our BORAN 2513 UV flatbed printer often offers more raw industrial power ,media flexibility ,more printing effect and The cost-effectiveness of the machine is higher, while the Mimaki offers superior technological reliability and proprietary high-value features (like 2.5D texturing) within a more restricted media height.
