Genuine Mimaki RF Absorber Pad 200 (Part Number: MP-M700856)
Product Overview
The Mimaki RF Absorber Pad 200 (MP-M700856) is a 100% brand-new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) maintenance component specifically designed for the Mimaki JFX200-2513 and JFX200-2513 EX UV LED flatbed printers.
Positioned strategically within the carriage or electronics assembly, this specialized radio frequency (RF) absorbing pad suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and high-frequency noise generated during high-speed printing. It is essential for protecting sensitive electronic circuitry and ensuring flawless data transmission to the printheads.

Key Features and Benefits
1. Superior Signal Integrity & EMI Protection
Industrial UV flatbed printers utilize high-voltage and high-frequency signals to drive printheads and UV LED curing lamps. This pad absorbs unwanted stray radio frequencies and electromagnetic noise, preventing signal corruption in data ribbon cables and maintaining stable machine performance.
2. Prevention of Printing Artifacts
Electromagnetic interference can cause micro-errors in printhead firing signals, leading to erratic ink firing, banding, or random misaligned dots. Replacing a worn or saturated absorber pad ensures smooth, razor-sharp image output and crisp text rendering.
3. Protects Mainboard and Slider Board Electronics
By capturing and dissipating hazardous transient RF fields, the pad shields delicate semiconductor components on the slider board and main PCB from long-term electrical degradation, extending the lifespan of your printer's electronics.
4. OEM Factory Precision Fit
As a genuine Mimaki part, it features exact dimensional cuts tailored specifically for the JFX200 chassis. It includes a high-grade, heat-resistant adhesive backing that firmly secures the pad in place, preventing shifting caused by the high-speed acceleration of the print carriage.
When is Replacement Recommended?
The RF Absorber Pad can degrade over time due to exposure to ozone, high operating temperatures, and continuous electromagnetic load. Consider replacing this pad if you experience:
- Unexplained Data Errors: Persistent communication errors between the main board and the carriage (slider board).
- Random Printing Glitches: Banding or "ghost" lines that cannot be resolved by standard mechanical calibration or head cleanings.
- Routine Preventive Maintenance: Standard industry practice recommends inspecting or replacing internal shielding pads during major slider board or printhead overhauls.
