Mimaki LF140 ink cartridge

Mimaki LF140 Ink Chip – UJF / JFX / UJV – DGCHIP-MIM-LF140

The Mimaki LF-140 ink chip (part no. DGCHIP-MIM-LF140) is the integrated circuit (IC) that identifies the ink loaded into the printer: colour, volume and consumption tracking. It is designed for Mimaki UV LED flatbed and roll-to-roll printers that use LF-140 flexible ink.

It is fitted into the chip slot of the 220 mL cartridge (type SPC-0727) or into the eco-case of the 600 mL pouch (type SPC-0728), replacing the original chip. The printer reads its data every time it is loaded. This ensures reliable detection of colour and volume, with no error messages at start-up.

Sold separately, by colour and volume, the chip is intended solely for customers using our Mimaki LF140-compatible inks, in particular our refilled bags with chips.
